Perrier-Jouet Blanc de Blancs NV Champagne / Magnum

Rosa Paredes — Absolute stunner

10/10

The wine shop recommended this when I said I wanted something special for Christmas and wow. So smooth and well balanced, proper orchard fruit flavours with a clean finish that just keeps going. The magnum format is perfect for a group and it stayed brilliant right to the last glass. Best champagne I've had in ages.

Hannah Brooks — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Bought the magnum for my wife's 40th and it was a huge hit. Really crisp and fresh with lovely peachy fruit, and the bubbles are so fine and elegant. At £167 for a magnum it's not cheap but honestly felt worth it for a special occasion. Everyone kept going back for more.

Elena Vasquez — Good but steep

8/10

Picked this up for New Year's and it's a solid champagne — nice acidity, fine bubbles, bit of mineral character on the finish. My only gripe is £167 is a lot of money and I'm not sure it's twice as good as an £80 bottle. That said I'd happily drink it again if someone else was buying.
