Laurent-Perrier Alexandra Rose 2012 Champagne / Magnum

Omar Diallo — The rosé champagne that changed my mind

9/10

I always thought rosé champagne was a bit gimmicky until a mate brought this to a dinner party. It's so composed and precise, nothing like those overly fruity pink fizzes. The finish just goes on and on. Definitely a special occasion bottle — we paired it with some charcuterie and it was perfect.

Wei Zhang — Gorgeous but hard to ignore that price tag

8/10

Had a glass at a tasting event and it's genuinely lovely — really expressive nose and the acidity keeps everything fresh and interesting. But £765 for a magnum is steep even by prestige champagne standards. I'd give the champagne itself a 9 but knocking a point off because at that price I expected to be completely blown away, and while it's excellent, I've had Dom P vintages that impressed me more for less.

Aria Kim — Best champagne I've ever had

10/10

My boss opened one of these at a work dinner and I'm still thinking about it weeks later. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too sharp — just this incredible clean taste that lingers forever. I don't know much about fancy champagne but this one converted me. Now I just need to figure out how to justify the price to my wife.
