Charles Heidsieck Millesime 2012 Champagne / Magnum

Ryan Mitchell — Great Champagne, need a crowd to share it with

8/10

Treated myself to this for New Year's and it was the star of the evening. Really clean and precise with a finish that keeps you coming back for more. My only advice is make sure you've got enough people around — a magnum is a LOT of Champagne and this deserves to be drunk fresh, not left in the fridge overnight.

Olivia Park — Best Champagne I've ever had

10/10

My wife got me this as a birthday present and wow. I'm no expert but this is on another level compared to the usual stuff we drink. Really complex — you get different things every sip, and each glass tasted slightly different as it opened up. The finish just goes on and on. Already looking at getting another bottle.

Benjamin Ross — Impressive but big commitment

8/10

Saw this on a restaurant wine list and the sommelier talked us into the magnum for our table of six. Really glad we went for it — beautifully balanced with crisp acidity and loads of depth. Only gripe is that at this price point I'd want to drink it slowly and savour it, but magnums kind of force you into a party pace.
