Champagne Lallier Blanc de Blancs NV Champagne: Elegance Worth Celebrating

Marianne Blom — Went down a storm at dinner

8/10

Picked this up for a dinner party and everyone kept asking about it. It's 100% chardonnay which gives it that crisp clean thing, but there's also a sort of salty mineral edge that makes it really moreish. We finished it before the starter was done. Oops.

Simon Hughes — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Bought this for my wife's 40th and we were both blown away. The bubbles are so fine and creamy, and there's this lovely biscuity thing going on with lemon. At £85 it's not an everyday buy but for a celebration it's absolutely worth it.

Camila Ortiz — Nice but stretching the budget

7/10

It's a solid champagne, don't get me wrong. Lovely apple and biscuit notes, fine bubbles, all that. But at nearly £85 I've had bottles at £50-60 that get pretty close. If someone else is paying, great. For my own money I'd probably shop around.
