Lanson black label champagne, any good???

Yip, I like it, my faves for around the same price is Piper Heidseick or Veuve Clicquot. I used to manage an off license and one of my very posh customers replied (when I tried to sell her a bottle of Moet) "Moet! Oh God know, it's so gassy it's like sticking a bicycle pump up your arse!"

Barbara Knox (Rita of Corrie) once asked my friend to get her a bottle of Lanson down from the top shelf in Sainsbuggers, so we decided good enough for her, good enough for us

Yup - Lanson Black Label drinkers here... although apparently its meant to taste even better after a year! (Our bottles have never lasted that long!)

Moet is awful. Would rather a bottle of decent Cava over that stuff any day.

Yep LBL is v nice (I should say that I used to work for them!) wouldn't go for Moet at all - I agree with MrsMcB2B's posh customer on that one.

Veuve Clicquot is lovely, and Marks & Spencers own brand Oudinot or their Champagne de St Gall Premier Cru Brut is delicious.

Some of Tesco's/Sainsbury's/Somerfields own brand are actually from large Champagne houses.

I think Tesco champagne is really nice and drinkable especially if you have those who aren't champagne drinkers. I am sure it is under £20 per bottle as well.

ANother thumbs up for the black label from me!

Thanks for all the recomendations everyone! My mum phoned earlier and apparently black label Lanson is on offer at Netto at the moment for £18 per bottle i think! So Lanson is sounding even better now! ?

It's a nice no fuss bottle of fizz, go for it, I have to say for a similar price I dislike Moet and Perrier and would always go for Lanson if that's the choice.

Moët & Chandon is supposed to be the best for champagne fountains

I think that tells you all you need to know ?

I like Lanson Black Label (although prefer Veuve Clicquot) - and £18 is a very good price

I'm not a fan of Black Label - in that price range, I'd rather have Veuve Cliquot.

I'd strongly recommend giving Lindauer a go, for the price there's nothing that comes close (IMO).

Moet is terrible terrible stuff.

At £18 a bottle you can't go wrong! I like Lanson Black Label, I prefer Veuve but Lanson is nice enough.

If you;re looking to save money, another option is to go for a really nice Prosecco. People get really obsessed with drinking "champagne", but if you're not going for a higher end one, you'll probably get a nicer-tasting bubbly in Prosecco.

Some of the supermarket champers get good reviews too - I think Tescos in particular has had some great write ups.

I think LBL tastes like Appletise - it's definitly not my favourite. In that price bracket I'd always go for Veuve.

Tesco Premier Cru is excellent (has won loads of 'blind taste test' awards) and is around £15 a bottle IIRC.

That Tesco Premier Cru is lush: my parents brought some at the weekend. Mmmmm.

I couldn't agree more. I really dislike Lanson.

If you want good but inexpensive champagne I would recommend Laytons

I've never enjoyed a glass of Lanson.

I'd much rather have the Tesco or M&S own brand in the same price range.
