Veuve Fourny Cuvée R Extra Brut NV Champagne

Marcus Chen — Solid pick from the wine shop

8/10

The guy at my local recommended this when I said I wanted something dry but not aggressive. He was spot on — the acidity is there but it's balanced, not sharp. Clean finish too, none of that weird aftertaste you get with some cheaper fizz.

Zoe Chen — Good but bit pricey for what it is

7/10

It's nice, don't get me wrong. Well made, dry, proper Champagne taste. But at nearly £57 a bottle I think you can find similar quality for less. Would buy again on offer though.

Zara Al-Hassan — Great with seafood

8/10

Had this with oysters and smoked salmon on our anniversary. Really clean and precise, doesn't overpower the food at all. The finish just trails off nicely. Will definitely be getting another bottle.
