Tesco Finest Premier Cru Champagne Brut

This review is for the 2012 vintage

This just cannot be beaten for value, even at it's full price. I have tried just about every Champagne going and visited the region tasting and this is my house staple. It's light with notes of apple, similar to LP, with good lasting bubbles. Stock up when it's on a deal, sit back, and relax...

Having scanned the net for reviews on several champagnes I was still apprehensive when ordering this for our Anniversary celebrations. Our fears were soon allayed when we opened a bottle prior to the celebration to taste. My husband and daughter both agreed this was exceptional value for a really tasty champagne. Tesco were brilliant with the service provided, giving a good rate on an already good rate, and offering the service of returning the whole lot if we did try it and found it not to our liking. Everyone attending the event commented on the how nice the champagne was, even those who do not 'like' champagne. Fortunately we ordered more than we used at the event so will be able to enjoy at our leisure. It says it keeps for up to two years after purchase but doubt we will need to worry about the' use by date'. Thanks Tesco, and all delivered to the door.

This is a beautifully crisp but not too dry champagne which is preferable to many far more expensive vintages available. Goes well as a pre dinner or celebratroy drink to share (or enjoy yourselves!) highly reccomend

I recently took advantage of the offer on Tesco Finest Premier Cru Champagne Brut and whilst it was good value at £12 a bottle, I find it is too sweet for my palate.

I've been buying this champagne for over 10 years. It is by far the best quality and value anywhere. Even spending twice as much on other brands they are not anywhere this quality.

I have bought this wine frequently in the last couple of years and always am plesently surprised at iy's consistantly good flavour and delicate bouquet. It remains my choise for the "not so special" occasions

Good wine at a good price. Well worth buying in place of brand names

Have ordered this as my standard champagne for two years and served it at parties, dinner as well as a quiet glass at home. It is excellent and described by one knowledgeable guest as "ambrosial". Lovely colour with a rounded, mellow taste. A truely worthwhile buy especially at offer prices.

Best champagne I've tasted in a long time and a great price.

We always buy this Lovely Champagne for Special Occasions We recommend it 100% Fabulous !!!

This is a most delicious light and refreshing Champagne at a very resonable price

I read some great reviews on this Champagne a bought a couple of bottles. Despite the Finest tag, I would rate this an ok Champagne but nothing to get excited about. I would spend the extra and opt for British Chapel Down (fabulous stuff) or go for a quality New World sparkler.

The other comments say it all because the only other Champagne under £50 that could improve on this would be the Lanson Gold Label 1999/2002 at £40+

I must say, I am rather a demanding champagne lover. I usually go for the best, when I ever could. Tesco's offers are notoriously tempting, so I tend to go with the offers of the 'veuve' and the middle range brews. This time, giving the fact that Christmas was a hard call, I tempted Tesco finest. Oh boy, the colour, the bubbles and the smell brought spring and much precious sunny childhood memories in The Riviera, to my all winter bleak Oxford kitchen. The taste did not disappoint neither. In the contrary. The bubbles go straight to your ears, whispering some sweet nothing. After a few flutes, you come to earth, worried, only for an iota of a life time, as you remember that you did not spend the last penny of your papa's inheritance. It is such an amazing price.And its unbeatable offer. Enjoy...but, keep it between us :)

Im a lover of both Veuve and Bollinger and have tried loads of different brands but I have to admit this is a Premier Champaine of the finest quality

This is quite simply the best value for money champagne on the market. It also tastes lovely and is as good if not better than any other champagne out there for £35 and under!! Love it.

Decent fizz at a sensible price bought by the highly rated TESCO wine buyers. Balanced and not too acid. I think another few months in the bottle will make it even better but very good now....

Knockout wine that was perfect for christmas and new year, with a few bottles left to enjoy later.

a lovely smooth champagne,that is as good if not better than higher priced champagne's

I am not really a champagne buff and often think that champagne is overrated. Tesco Finest Premier Cru Champagne is excellent and my friends and family agree. I have tried many other bubbly wines but for price/performance this one comes out tops.

Impressive champagne which punches above its weight. Great value. We always ensure we have a bottle cooling!

A delicious, drinkable balanced champagne, really enjoyable especially at this price...

A fine champagne that can challenge any big champagne house for quality. Look out for special offers to make the value for money go even further.

This is a great champagne for the price - particularly when on offer. Crisp ,refined and with a great traditional taste.

Excellent value for money Champagne. Smooth and crisp.

Acidic. I could not detect "a delicate mouse or creamy flavour" as described on bottle. It would appear my party guests were of same opinion judging by the quantity of champagne left in glasses. A good quality Prosecco is far superior to this champagne.

Bought specifically for the festive season. An enjoyable light and fruity champagne. Would buy again.

Tesco Finest Premier Cru Champagne Brut is my absolute favourite celebration tipple. I now prefer it to many of the other popular and more expensive champagnes. Finding it for sale online by the case with a good discount just before Christmas was like an early Christmas present. Please try it - you won't be disappointed.

This champagne tastes exactly as in the product description and is every bit as good as well known brands which cost much more. Ideal for parties and occasions when you're having more than one bottle!

A great tasting champagne at a decent price.It certainly rivals much more expensive well known branded champagnes

This wine was described to the tee. Bought two cases, and not disappointed at all. Easy drinking, and well balanced acidity.

Premier Cru is our favourite Champagne, it is fresh, citrusy, goes with any food and excellent value for money, very similar to a branded bottle twice the price. Buy it, try it we guarantee you'll love it.

A class fizz. Pleases enormously with style and finess. You know when a wine is good - sheer disappointment when the bottle is empty.

Champagne is often acidic and you are glad when you hava finished !This has plenty of sparkle and bubbles .A pleasure to drink and amazing value for money

Special events need a special drink to celebrate them, this Premier Cru is my current favourite way to start a celebration. Not only does it taste great it always hits the spot and relaxes everyone who joins in the celebration. I've noticed recently that articles in the press rating various alternative champagnes have started leaving this one out as it is usually the top rated one and the rest must be very frustrated. Great value.

We would normally import our champagne direct from the grower but this Wine is fantastic both in value and on the palate . Lots of lovely bubbles .excellent aroma . Bought 90 bottles for our sons wedding had it delivered to the front door What could be easier !

This is for people that like champagne, not labels!

Biscuity with plenty of fizz. The best non-vintage I can find.

It taste lovely not to dry,smooth and not unlike expensive champagne, ideal for entertaining at Xmas times

I didn't think an own brand champagne could be as good as some of the famous branded ones but this Tesco offering is better than some and at a very reasonable price Well worth buying

As a Champagne lover I have tried many but always prefer Tesco's Finest and it is also excellent value for money too!

For the price this champagne is excellent value. It is has as described a crip and brut taste. A very good buy for serving in quantity at a celebration event.

After reading the reviews here and the Tesco Hype I had high expectations of this Champagne, being a regular drinker of Champagne I can say this "tesco finest premier cru" has a rather unpleasant after taste that ruins the initial flavours. Before you got out and buy a case try a bottle first.

A champagne with two out of the three usual grape varieties, it has the more elegant grapes of pinot noir and chardonnay and is a great value lighter style. It does not have the brioche style of Bollinger but if that is not to your liking then this is a more easily approachable style.

This review is for the 2012 vintage

For my palette this is a well balanced Champagne with a flavour comparable with much more expensive better known brands. The pinot noir in the grape mix gives this a hint of biscuity dryness. Value for money and very drinkable.

I adore this champagne. It has lots of bubbles, is lively, fresh, biscuity, a lovely colour. Excellent for sharing with friends at Christmas, lovely for sharing on sunny days. You cannot go wrong with this one - very good value.

This champagne is delicious and enjoyable. We shared the first bottle with friends this last weekend and we all thought it was fresh and light and to be recommended to others. Roll on Christmas and New Year when a few more bottles will be opened and enjoyed with gusto!!

A pleasant supermarket own brand champagne which is not too acidic and is very good value for money. Great for dinner parties -I buy it regularly and will continue to do so

this champagne is great value.Very crisp + refreshing.Bubbles r nice + soft. half purchased before and will def b again. recommended 2those who like good value with fab taste. not 2 gassy so get it in 4 Xmas

This has been our favourite champagne since we first tasted it a couple of years ago. Super taste, texture and flavour. All this a at a reasonable price, I cannot wait until the next special offer.

Superb champagne Great value for money will certainly buy again Great to have an affordable classy champagne on you doorstep

Think tesco will be putting this excellent value for money champers up in price soon. It is well worth the full price nevermind the discounted.It breaks the 'You get what you pay for' rule.

This review is for the 2010 vintage

Bought this at a very reasonable price and its has the best taste at this price you can get.

This champagne is the best in its range and excellent value for money. It has an almost creamy texture and is crisp and must be served chilled to appreciate the aroma and taste. Would recommend highly.

a lovely dry very moreish champagne with a delicate biscuity taste and small bubbles. Thoroughly deserves its awards and an excellent price!
