At under £14, this Champagne represents exceptional (and slightly scary) value. It’s a little basic in texture, but shows classic Champagne notes of biscuit, green apple, and lemon zest. The mousse is lively, and while the blend may not be as refined as premium examples, it’s balanced and refreshingly dry. There’s enough complexity to keep it interesting, and it would work well as a party pour or casual celebration bottle. For those who want the real Champagne name without the premium pricing, this is surprisingly successful.
