Here is a link to a page showcasing the profile of each producer of SC Champagne.
Who knows, but I’m pretty shocked by some of these names. A lot of these are not imported to the US at all, which is strange given how much small house Champagne floods the market.
After buying a bunch of '06s, I now avoid Special Clubs. So many other great champagnes out there. The bottles don’t fit in my racks. It’s forgivable for my Taittinger Comtes, but not for the Special Clubs I’ve had.
I’ve got a few bottles (Bara, Hebrart, Goutorbe, maybe one or two others), but they’re from 2004 and 2006 but I haven’t tried any yet, assuming, correctly or not, they’re still too young to show their best.
Gimmonet, Lasalle, Goutorbe, Gaston-Chiquet, and Bara make nice SCs. I’ve enjoyed the ones I’ve had. Pertois Moriset has been hit or miss by my recollection.
The best ones for me are Bara (rosé), Gimonnet, Goutorbe, Hebrart, Moussé (limited experience) and José Michel. Others can be very good, but less consistent for me, and many on the list I have yet to ever see.
