Henri Giraud Dame-Jane Rose Champagne

Benjamin Ross — Picked this up on a whim

9/10

Saw this on the shelf and the bottle caught my eye — never tried Henri Giraud before. So glad I took a chance on it. There's dried red fruit and a bit of spice, and it's got way more going on than your average rosé champagne. Ended up ordering another bottle the next week.

Alex Ramos — Lovely but bit pricey

8/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and really enjoyed it. There's a nice toasty, biscuity character and the fruit is spot on — red berries without being sweet. £85 is a lot for me though, so probably one for Christmas rather than a Tuesday night.

Felix Moreau — Stunner with seafood

9/10

Opened this with a big platter of prawns and oysters and it was perfect. The acidity cuts right through and there's a mineral thing on the finish that keeps it fresh. The strawberry notes are beautiful without being over the top. Henri Giraud clearly know what they're doing.
