Manon Boutillez-Guer Rayon de Lumière BdB Brut Nature NV Champagne

Priscilla Nunes — Good but pricey for what it is

7/10

Nice champagne, don't get me wrong. Clean finish, proper depth to it, and the bubbles are fine and persistent. But at £68.75 I'd want a bit more wow factor. I've had similarly enjoyable bottles for £15-20 less. Would probably buy again on offer though.

Ruth Banks — Brought this to a dinner party

8/10

Took this along to a friend's dinner and everyone kept asking about it. It's really expressive on the nose — loads of different things coming through each time you sniff it. Dry as anything which I love but might not suit everyone. The 12.5% ABV means it doesn't knock you sideways either.

Rosa Paredes — Proper champagne, no shortcuts

8/10

Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it. It's a Blanc de Blancs with no added sugar (brut nature) and you can really tell — it's bone dry and has this lovely sharp acidity that keeps you going back for more. Great with oysters if you're feeling fancy.
