Henri Giraud Hommage au Pinot Noir

Kofi Asante — Surprised me how much I liked it

8/10

Not usually a champagne person, I tend to stick to still reds. But this changed my mind a bit — it's got proper depth and the fruit really comes through. You can tell they've put thought into making it rather than just slapping a label on fizzy wine. Had it with some charcuterie and it was spot on.

Jackson Wu — Nice but maybe not £80 nice

7/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and it was lovely, really clean and well balanced. But honestly at that price point I think I'd want a bit more going on. The finish is pleasant but it fades quicker than I expected. I'd happily drink it again, just wouldn't buy it myself.

Kenji Watanabe — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

My wife got me this for my 40th and wow, what a bottle. Really expressive from the moment you pop it — you can tell it's serious champagne without being stuffy. The acidity keeps it fresh and interesting, and I kept going back for another sip. Worth every penny for a special occasion.
