Sadi Malot Les 2 Cepages Champagne

Simon Hughes — Nice but maybe not £49 nice

7/10

It's a good Champagne, don't get me wrong. Crisp acidity, decent complexity, and the finish hangs around nicely. But for almost fifty quid I was expecting something that really blew me away and it didn't quite get there. I've had comparable bottles for £35-40.

Amira Benali — This stuff is GOOD

9/10

Ok so I'm not a huge Champagne person usually, I find a lot of it kind of samey and overpriced. But this genuinely surprised me. There's real flavour here, like actual fruit and freshness, not just bubbles. Polished off the bottle way too quickly at our Friday night dinner.

Devon Marsh — Solid Champagne, fair price

8/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and liked it enough to track down a bottle myself. Clean and bright with good fruit — not too sweet, not too dry. At just under £50 it's not cheap but it's genuinely better than a lot of the big-name stuff at the same price.
