Champagne La Borderie L'Arpent Oublie 2019 / Pinot Blanc Brut Nature

Tiffany Nguyen — Dinner party winner

8/10

Brought this to a friend's dinner party and it was a massive hit. Everyone kept asking about it. Really expressive on the nose and pairs well with basically anything — we had it with a cheese board and then fish and it worked brilliantly with both.

Ingrid Holm — Great find for champagne nerds

8/10

If you're into small grower champagnes this is well worth trying. Really restrained and elegant at 12.5% — you could drink this all afternoon without realising. The acidity is spot on and there's a complexity that builds the more you sip. Shared it with my wife and we both loved it.

Noah Williams — Proper grown-up champagne

8/10

My local wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something a bit different. It's bone dry but not aggressive — there's actual fruit in there which surprised me for a Brut Nature. Really well made stuff, felt like a step up from the usual suspects.
