Frank Peillot Cremant Bugey Montagnieu NV

Annika Svensson — Really fun find

8/10

Picked this up from a local wine shop after the guy behind the counter recommended it. Never heard of Bugey before but this is seriously refreshing — loads of fruit but still crisp and zippy. At £25 it's not cheap for a midweek bottle but I'd definitely get it again for a nice occasion.

Petra Novak — Nice but a bit pricey

6/10

It's pleasant enough, clean and well balanced with some decent complexity if you pay attention. But honestly for nearly £25 I expected a bit more wow factor. Would probably reach for a good Cava or Prosecco at half the price for everyday drinking.

Oscar Delgado — Solid sparkling for the money

7/10

Bought this for a dinner party instead of Champagne and nobody complained. It's got a nice freshness to it and doesn't feel heavy at all despite being pretty flavourful. Good but not life-changing — I'd say it's fair for £25.
