Sadi Malot Les Cretes Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Farah Abboud — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Bought this for my wife's 40th and we were both blown away. Really crisp and clean with proper depth to it — not just fizz and nothing else like some champagnes. The bubbles are fine and it lingers nicely after each sip. At £70 it's not cheap but for a special occasion it felt worth every penny.

Dmitri Volkov — Proper champagne this

8/10

Saw Sadi Malot mentioned on a forum and tracked a bottle down. Really expressive on the nose straight away and the acidity is spot on — keeps everything tight and fresh at 12.5%. Had it with some seared scallops and it was a great match. One of those bottles where you keep going back for another sip without thinking about it.

Aiko Tanaka — Solid blanc de blancs

8/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something a step up from Moët for a dinner party. He wasn't wrong — it's got a lovely purity to it and proper structure, not just fruit bomb fizz. Would happily buy again though I'd wait for a nice occasion at that price point.
