April 2021 offer is the 2010 vintage

Bought lots of the 2009 but this 2010 bottle delivered in April 2021 does not have the biscuity flavour I love. The depth of flavour is still good, with a light mousse but alas overall too sweet for me.

Better the Bollinger & other high end brands.

Delicious taste, not overly dry. Good balance of acidity. Just the right balance of bubbles and good depth of taste. One of the best.

non champagne lover

As somebody who has drunk champagne over many years because it was the done thing on certain occasions, I can honestly say this is the first I've ever enjoyed. Really fine long lasting bubbles, like popping candy in the mouth it isn't acidic or overly dry. I've ordered 2 more bottles for New Year its that good, especially at the price.
