Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial Champagne / Jeroboam

Lena Petrova — Surprised how smooth this was

9/10

I'm not usually a champagne person but my partner got this as a birthday present and wow. Really smooth bubbles, not harsh at all, and there's a warmth to it that I wasn't expecting — almost like a toast or pastry kind of flavour? Goes down dangerously easy at 12.5%. We had it with a cheese board and it was brilliant.

Bought the Jeroboam for my wife's 40th and it was an absolute showstopper. The bubbles are so fine and delicate, and there's this lovely brioche thing going on that makes it taste properly luxurious. At £405 it's not cheap but when you consider it's basically four bottles and the wow factor of pouring from a massive bottle, it's actually not bad value for a big celebration.

Jorge Castillo — Great champagne, big bottle tax though

8/10

Look, Moet Brut Imperial is a solid champagne and I always enjoy it. Nice citrus freshness, clean finish, does exactly what you want champagne to do. But £405 for the Jeroboam is a bit steep when you can get four regular bottles for less. Bought it for New Year's because it looks impressive on the table, and it did, but I'd probably just get standard bottles next time.
