Many thanks for that! Gonna open one shortly (as my older brother David will be visiting), and keep the other stashed for a while longer.

Thoughts on the ‘21? Have a couple in waiting.

You’re absolutely right I got my Champagnes muddled (lot of good wine gone down this evening), and the Huré Frères I drank (also over Christmas) was the Invitation, which was great, although for me the Laherte was more memorable

Need to check this out. Had a bottle of their Ultratradition Extra Brut over Christmas, and it offered up an awful lot for its price tag (stood out against another Champagne and a sparkler from closer to home)

And a wine region that’s off most people’s radar, but where there are some small independent producers doing great things

Favourites, not sure, as that’s all a bit ephemeral, but both the Chapel wines (Juliénas & Chiroubles were memorable, and the Thillardon (Chénas) was a top drop. But biggest take away is that it’s the producer (rather than Cru) that matters most, and all these know how to work their place. Santé !
