Pertois Lebrun L'Extravertie Brut NV Champagne: Elegance Worth Celebrating

Henrik Larsen — Absolutely loved this

9/10

Picked this up after seeing it on a restaurant menu and tracking it down online. The bubbles are delicate, there's candied citrus and brioche going on, and it just feels elegant without being stuffy. Best champagne I've had under fifty quid, no question.

Celeste Moreno — Good for the price range

7/10

I don't know loads about champagne but I'm trying to branch out from prosecco. This was really dry compared to what I'm used to but in a good way — kind of crisp and appley. The mineral-y finish took me a couple of sips to get into but by the end of the glass I was sold.

Jackson Wu — Solid champagne, nothing flashy

7/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something a bit different from Moët. It's nice — quite dry and lemony with a chalky sort of dryness that I liked. Good but I'm not sure I'd pick it over some £30 options for everyday drinking.
