Jacques Lassaigne Le Cotet Blanc de Blancs Champagne: Elegance Worth Celebrating

Farah Abboud — Good not great for the price

7/10

Saw this recommended online and decided to splash out. It's nice — lovely fine bubbles, toasty smell, decent citrus freshness. But I've had blanc de blancs at £50 that weren't far off this. If you've got the budget go for it, otherwise there are better value options out there.

The guy at my local wine shop recommended this when I said I wanted something special but not Bollinger. Glad I listened. It's all Chardonnay and you can really tell — so fresh and elegant with this lemony finish that just goes on and on. Already ordered another bottle.

Ruth Banks — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Bought this for my 40th and honestly it was the highlight of the night. The bubbles are so fine and creamy, and there's this amazing toasty brioche thing going on that I couldn't stop sniffing. At nearly a hundred quid it's not an everyday buy but for a special occasion? Absolutely worth it.
