Gallimard Pere & Fils Cuvee Prestige 2017

Elena Vasquez — Solid pick from the wine shop

8/10

The guy at my local recommended this when I said I wanted something a bit different from the usual Moët. It's got loads of flavour — stone fruit, brioche, bit of citrus on the end. Really enjoyed it and would buy again, though I'd probably save it for when we have people over rather than a Tuesday night.

Olivia Park — Nice but maybe slightly overhyped

7/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and thought it was good, not amazing. Bit pricey for what it is at £42-odd when you can get decent prosecco for a tenner. That said the toasty almond flavour was genuinely lovely and it went down very easily with the starter.

Penelope Hart — Great find from a small producer

8/10

I've been trying to branch out from the big champagne houses and this Gallimard is exactly the kind of thing I was after. Proper depth to it — fruity but not sweet, with a nice chalky dryness at the end that keeps you going back for more. Had it with some roast chicken and it was perfect.
