Perrier Jouet Grand Brut NV / Magnum

Henrik Larsen — Solid champagne, bit steep though

8/10

Got this as a birthday present and it's really nice — proper floral and fruity with good fizz. Honestly though, for £112 I'd probably pick up two bottles of something else for everyday drinking. That said, it does feel like a special occasion wine and the big bottle is a great centrepiece.

Maxwell Green — The best champagne I've had

10/10

The guy at our local wine shop recommended this and wow. It's got this amazing balance where the fruit and the toasty bread-y flavour just work perfectly together. Poured it for our dinner party and everyone was asking what it was. Already planning to buy another one for Christmas.

Mei-Lin Wu — Really impressed

9/10

I'm not usually a champagne person but a friend brought this round and I get it now. There's a freshness to it but also a richness — like flowers and apple and something baked? Hard to describe but it's properly delicious. The finish just keeps going too.
