Kofi Asante — Stole the show at our dinner party

9/10

Served this as an aperitif at a dinner party and every single person commented on it. It's really expressive on the nose, you can tell it's quality the second you pour it. Light enough at 12.5% that nobody was falling asleep before the main course either. Will be stocking up.

Thomas Weber — Good but bit pricey

7/10

Decent champagne, don't get me wrong. Smells great and drinks smoothly. But pushing £48 for a non-vintage? I've had Proseccos at half the price that I've enjoyed just as much on a Friday night. One for special occasions only.

Olivia Wong — Nice but not blown away

7/10

Had this at a friend's house and thought it was pleasant enough. Clean, balanced, easy to drink. I just expected a bit more wow factor at this price point to be honest. It's reliable and well-made but didn't make me go out and buy a bottle myself.
