Laurent-Perrier Alexandra Rose 2004 Champagne

Jake Morrison — Very good but I expected more

7/10

Look, it's a lovely champagne and the 2004 vintage has clearly aged well — loads of complexity and a clean dry finish. But at this price point I was expecting to be completely blown away and I just wasn't quite there. I've had Dom P vintages for less that impressed me more. Still a solid buy if you're a Laurent-Perrier fan though.

Jorge Castillo — Worth every penny for a special night

9/10

Bought this for our 20th wedding anniversary and wow, it delivered. The bubbles are so fine and the flavour just keeps going — every sip has something new going on. At £315 it's obviously not an everyday thing but for a once-in-a-lifetime occasion it felt completely justified.

Luciano Bianchi — Gorgeous but hard to justify the price

8/10

Had this at a restaurant for a friend's engagement dinner. Absolutely beautiful champagne — proper depth to it, not like those simple fizzy rosés. But £315 a bottle is steep. I'd have it again if someone else was buying, put it that way.
