Philipponnat Clos des Goisses 2014 Champagne

Samir Patel — Best champagne I've ever had

10/10

My brother-in-law brought this to Christmas dinner and I'm still thinking about it three months later. It's got this incredible depth to it, like layers and layers of flavour that just unfold the longer you sit with it. I've had plenty of nice champagne but nothing that made me stop and actually pay attention like this did.

Priya Sharma — Opened this too early and it was STILL amazing

9/10

Picked this up as a birthday present to myself. Drank it way too young probably — it's a 2014 and apparently these age really well — but even now it was fantastic. Super concentrated and focused, and the acidity keeps everything really fresh and lively. Going to buy another bottle and actually be patient with it this time.

Olivia Wong — Worth every penny for a special night

9/10

Bought this for our 10th anniversary dinner and wow, it did not disappoint. The bubbles are so fine and the flavours just keep coming — you think you've got it figured out and then something new shows up. At £315 it's not an everyday thing obviously, but for a big occasion? Absolutely worth it.
