Louis Roederer Collection 245 Champagne / Half Bottle

Carlos Mendez — Perfect half bottle for two

8/10

Bought this for a quiet anniversary dinner at home and it was just the right amount for two people. Really crisp and fresh with lovely bubbles, and it sort of opens up the more you sip it. At £29.50 for a half bottle it's not cheap but it genuinely tastes like proper champagne, not just fizzy wine.

Tiffany Nguyen — Nice but steep for a half bottle

6/10

The wine shop guy recommended this and it's perfectly fine champagne, clean and well-balanced. But nearly thirty quid for a half bottle is a lot when you can get a decent full bottle of prosecco for less. If someone else is paying, great. Otherwise I'd probably look elsewhere.

Yasmine Najjar — Treated myself and no regrets

8/10

Picked this up on a whim after a long week and honestly it was exactly what I needed. The bubbles are really fine and elegant and there's this lovely depth to it that kept me coming back for another sip. Half bottle is actually ideal when you just want a glass or two without committing to a whole bottle.
