Drappier Clarevallis NV Champagne: Effervescent Excellence

Sophia Laurent — Solid champagne, bit steep though

8/10

Tried this at a friend's dinner party and liked it enough to track down a bottle myself. Nice toasted almond smell and it's got this chalky dry thing going on that I really enjoyed. Good but I'd probably reach for something around £40 for a regular weekend bottle.

Natasha Volkov — Best champagne I've had in ages

10/10

The guy at my local wine shop recommended this and I'm so glad he did. The bubbles are super fine and it's got layers of flavour — lemony, pastry-like, a bit nutty. Had it with some fish and chips oddly enough and it was brilliant. Already ordered more.

Amira Benali — Really nice but not sure I'd rebuy

8/10

Picked this up for New Year's Eve. It's definitely a step up from the usual prosecco we drink — more complex with that brioche and citrus blossom thing going on. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blend works well together. Just not sure it's £59 nice for us when there's decent cava out there.
