Champagne Coessens Largillier Les Sens Boises 2017

Helena Kosta — Special occasion champagne

9/10

Bought this for our anniversary dinner and it was absolutely worth it. Really well balanced, not too sweet, not too dry, with proper depth to it. You can tell someone knew what they were doing when they made this. Would definitely buy again for a special occasion.

Natalie Ford — Lovely but pricey

8/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something a bit different from the usual Moët. It's genuinely good — clean finish and interesting complexity that keeps you coming back for another sip. At £86 though, it's firmly in the treat yourself category rather than a regular buy.

Aria Kim — Really solid smaller producer

8/10

I've been trying to branch out from the big champagne houses and this Coessens was a great find. Expressive nose, good structure, and it unfolds nicely as you drink it rather than hitting you all at once. Bit steep at nearly £90 but you're paying for quality not a label, which I respect.
