Champagne Bonnet Gilmert La Reserve Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Oger NV

Benjamin Ross — Nice but maybe not £52 nice

7/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and it was good — clean, precise, pleasant finish. But honestly at this price point I'd probably just grab a Pol Roger or similar. It's a bit pricey for what it is unless you're really into the small producer thing.

Henrik Larsen — Blanc de blancs done right

9/10

This is everything I want from a Grand Cru blanc de blancs. Expressive on the nose straight away, and the palate has genuine complexity that unfolds the longer you sit with it. Served it at our anniversary dinner and even my wife who usually just wants prosecco was impressed.

Luna Chavez — Solid grower Champagne

8/10

Been getting into grower Champagnes lately and the wine shop pointed me towards this Bonnet Gilmert. Really crisp acidity, keeps everything lively and fresh. At around £52 it's not cheap but it's genuinely complex stuff — definitely a step up from the big house NVs at the same price.
