10 Champagnes Worth Seeking Out - NYTimes.com: "I have many favorite grower producers, but I thought I would single out 10 whose Champagnes are consistently worth seeking out and for the most part should not be too difficult to find.
1. Cedric Bouchard – Unusual and almost Burgundian pinot-noir dominated cuvees have gained a cult following.
2. Ulysse Collin – Blanc de blancs with razor-sharp focus.
3. Roger Coulon – Wines with great finesse. All but the top cuvee are made with a high percentage of pinot meunier.
4. Jose Dhondt – Superb dry, minerally blanc de blancs.
5. Egly-Ouriet – Excellent Champagnes, dominated by pinot noir or pinot meunier.
6. Pierre Gimonnet – Crisp, precise blanc de blancs.
7. Godme Pere & Fils — Excellent blanc de noirs.
8. Larmandier-Bernier – Superb Champagnes from the Cote des blancs. I especially like the pure, terroir-specific Terre de Vertus.
9. Pierre Moncuit – Very fine, focused blanc de blancs.
10. Camille Saves – Lively Champagnes from Bouzy. The Carte Blanche brut is a great value."
