Charles Heidsieck Millesime Rose 2012 Champagne

Isla McCallister — Impressed but my wallet isn't

8/10

Had this at a friend's birthday dinner and it blew me away — way more structure than most rosé Champagnes I've tried. Really balanced, not too fruity, not too dry. Tracked a bottle down afterwards but £129 is steep so it'll stay a treat rather than a regular buy.

Penelope Hart — Worth every penny for a special night

9/10

Bought this for our anniversary and it was genuinely stunning. Really layered and complex — you keep noticing new things as you drink it. The finish just lingers in the best way. At £129 it's not cheap but honestly felt worth it for the occasion.

Nia Okafor — Really good but not sure it's £129 good

8/10

Tried this at a tasting event and it's definitely quality stuff. Nice precise acidity, proper backbone to it, and the finish hangs around for ages. My only gripe is the price — there are solid vintage Champagnes out there for less. Still, if someone else is buying, absolutely say yes.
