Henri Giraud Fut de Chene MV20 Champagne

Oscar Delgado — Served this at our dinner party

9/10

Opened this for a small dinner party with friends who are into their wine. Everyone was impressed. It's got real structure and the acidity keeps it fresh even though there's a lot going on flavour-wise. The mousse is incredibly fine — felt almost creamy. Paired brilliantly with the seafood starter.

Ruth Banks — Worth every penny for a special night

9/10

Bought this for our anniversary and wow, it did not disappoint. There's this lovely richness to it that's completely different from your standard champagne — you can tell the oak ageing does something special. The bubbles are super fine and it just keeps giving you more flavour the longer you sit with it.

Nils Bergman — Really good but not £178 good

7/10

Look, this is a lovely champagne. The oak gives it an interesting character and it's clearly well made. But at this price point I kept comparing it to other things I could buy, and I'm not sure it's twice as good as an £80 bottle. Maybe I'm just not refined enough to fully appreciate it.
