Roland Champion Grand Eclate 2016 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Olivia Wong — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Bought this for my 40th and it was genuinely brilliant. Really crisp and clean with proper depth to it — not one of those champagnes that's all fizz and no substance. At £51 it's not cheap but for a Grand Cru blanc de blancs on a special occasion, I thought it was fair enough.

Herbert Muller — Christmas day winner

9/10

Opened this on Christmas morning with smoked salmon and it was absolutely spot on. Proper structured champagne with real complexity — you can tell it's Grand Cru Chardonnay, everything just feels precise and confident. Already ordered two more for New Year's. One of the best blanc de blancs I've had under £60.

Wei Zhang — Nice but maybe not £50 nice

7/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something a step up from supermarket champagne. It's good — lovely clean acidity and there's definitely layers going on — but I'm not sure I'd pay over fifty quid again when there are solid options for £35. Would happily drink it if someone else was buying though.
