Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee Brut NV Champagne

Hannah Brooks — Solid champagne, proper stuff

8/10

I'm slowly trying to learn more about champagne beyond just grabbing whatever's on offer, and this felt like a step up. You can taste the quality — there's actual layers of fruit and acidity rather than just generic fizz. The finish is really clean too, not harsh at all. Laurent-Perrier clearly know what they're doing.

Kenji Watanabe — Nice but a bit steep

7/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and thought it was lovely — clean, crisp, proper champagne taste. Went and looked it up afterwards and £51 is a lot when you can get decent prosecco for a tenner. I'd buy it as a gift but probably not for a random Tuesday night.

Adaobi Eze — The wine shop guy knew his stuff

8/10

Asked for a recommendation for my wife's birthday and the guy in the shop pointed me to this. She loved it. Really bright and fruity with a nice dry finish that keeps you going back for more. We paired it with some fish and chips which probably wasn't what they intended but it worked brilliantly.
