Champagne Vadin-Plateau Origines NV

Sophie Brennan — Proper champagne, not just fizz

8/10

The guy at my local wine shop recommended this and he wasn't wrong. There's actual complexity here — you keep noticing new things as you drink it. Fine bubbles too, none of that aggressive fizz you get with cheaper stuff.

Tyler Bennet — Solid choice, nothing to complain about

7/10

Picked this up for New Year's and it went down well. Good balance of fruit and acidity, nice long finish. Decent champagne — I just personally prefer something a bit more toasty at this price point.

Ethan Cooper — Good but a stretch at this price

7/10

Nice champagne, genuinely enjoyable, but I'm not sure it's £50 good. The acidity is really clean and it's got more going on than most NVs I've tried. Would probably buy again if it was on offer.
