Jean-Marc Charpentier Terre d'Emotion BdB NV Champagne

Kenji Watanabe — Solid grower champagne

8/10

I've been getting into grower champagnes lately and this Terre d'Emotion is a great example of why. You can taste the care that's gone into it — bright, structured, with a finish that lingers nicely without being heavy. At 12.5% it's easy drinking too. Had it with some goat's cheese and it was perfect.

Nils Bergman — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

My wife got me this for my birthday and wow, really glad she did. It's got this lovely freshness to it with layers of flavour that keep coming — I kept noticing new things with every sip. At £63 it's not an everyday bottle but for a celebration it's absolutely worth it.

Amira Benali — Nice but steep for NV

7/10

Picked this up from a local wine merchant who recommended it. It's good champagne, proper clean finish and well balanced acidity, but I'm not sure it's £63 good when you can get solid NV champagne for £40. Would probably buy again if it was on offer though.
