The 200g box has 73 John Lewis reviews averaging 4.9. We couldn’t find a pattern of complaints, so the drawbacks above are facts about the product rather than things buyers keep saying.

The two worth knowing about are the alcohol and the price. There’s marc de champagne in the filling, and John Lewis won’t sell it to under-16s. At about £25 for 200g, you’re paying for the name and the box.

That’s fine when the box is the point: a thank-you for a teacher, something for a host, or a present for a mother-in-law you’re still getting to know.

What reviewers praise

  • Looks like a proper present
  • Most people know the box
  • Easy to buy for someone you don't know well

What they complain about

  • Contains alcohol, so it can't be sold to anyone under 16
  • About £25 for 200g, which is a lot for chocolate
Not for
Children, anyone who avoids alcohol, or someone who'd rather have a big bar for a quarter of the price.
