Philippe Alexander Cuvee Alex Brut NV Champagne: A Toast-Worthy Cuvee

Ruth Banks — Good with food

7/10

Picked this up for a seafood night at home and it worked brilliantly — that dry, zesty finish cut right through the richness of the prawns. Green apple freshness up front with some toasty hazelnut underneath. Decent Champagne at a reasonable price point, not the best I've had but I'd happily have it again.

Penelope Hart — Perfect for celebrations

8/10

Bought this for my wife's birthday and we both really enjoyed it. Lovely creamy bubbles with a biscuity thing going on, and that dry finish meant we polished off the whole bottle without it feeling heavy. At £35 it's not cheap but it's proper Champagne and it tasted like it.

Benjamin Ross — Solid Champagne, nothing flashy

7/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something decent but not Moët prices. It's good — nice apple and pear notes, quite crisp and dry. I'd say it's fair for what you pay, though I've had Crémants at half the price that come close.
