Laherte Freres Petit Meslier NV Champagne

Valentina Ricci — Really impressive but hard to justify the price

8/10

Tried this at a wine bar after the sommelier recommended it. It's genuinely lovely — clean, complex, great acidity — but £120 is a lot when there are solid champagnes at half the price. That said, the depth here is on another level compared to most things I've had.

Clara Johansson — Petit Meslier is a revelation

9/10

I'd never even heard of Petit Meslier as a grape before picking this up at a local wine shop. It's so different from your typical champagne — really direct and focused, with a weight to it that surprised me. The finish goes on and on. Laherte clearly know what they're doing.

Maxwell Green — Lovely but maybe not £120 lovely

8/10

Got this as a birthday present and it was delicious, no question. Beautiful structure and the flavours kept unfolding the more I drank. But if I'm being honest I'm not sure I'd buy it myself at that price point — I'd probably grab two bottles of something else instead.
