Laurent-Perrier Alexandra Rose 2004

Kofi Asante — Opened this for New Year and no regrets

10/10

I know nothing about fancy wine but my partner loves Laurent-Perrier so I splashed out on this for New Year's Eve. Even I could tell this was special — the blood orange on the nose, the long citrusy finish, it just kept getting better as we drank it. She cried. Worth it.

Dmitri Volkov — Beautiful but hard to justify the price

8/10

Tried this at a wine bar and it's genuinely lovely — really elegant pink grapefruit and strawberry with a long finish. But £350 is a LOT of money for champagne when there are solid rosé champagnes at a quarter of the price. Would happily drink it again if someone else is buying.

Tomas Rivera — Impressed but not blown away

8/10

Picked this up on a trip to France last year. It's really good — nice acidity, proper dry with lovely berry flavours and a sort of chalky mineral thing going on. For the price though I expected to be completely floored and I wasn't quite there. Still a seriously good champagne.
