Pierre Gerbais Grains de Celles NV Champagne

Lena Petrova — Solid pick from the wine shop

8/10

The guy at my local recommended this when I said I wanted something a bit different from the usual Moët. Really well balanced, good fruit without being sweet, and a clean finish that keeps you going back. At £53 it's not cheap but it's proper Champagne, not supermarket stuff.

Jackson Wu — Nice but not sure it's worth £53

7/10

Don't get me wrong, this is a good Champagne. Smells great out of the bottle and it's got a nice depth to it. But for fifty-odd quid I was expecting to be blown away and I wasn't quite there. I'd probably go for something a bit cheaper day to day.

Natasha Volkov — Great for a special occasion

8/10

Picked this up for New Year's Eve and it went down a storm. Really expressive nose, you can tell there's proper craft behind it. Everyone commented on it, even the people who normally just drink prosecco.
