I would’ve expected more than 1/3 champagne in your cellar given how much you drink! Mine is ~45% champagne.

There’s definitely an imbalance, given how many bubbles we open compared to still wines. It has to be 10:1. I didn’t start my champagne deep dive until about a decade ago.

Mine has shifted a lot in the last couple of years as I rebalance and focus more on old favorites as retirement nears. I was a little surprised when I looked, but overall this feels right.
Yquem
L’Evangile
Niellon
Mouton
Drouhin
Kerpen
Serafin
Willi Schaefer
Dujac
Lafite
Curious which are your favorite Sottimano’s?
I’d say Cotta is my favorite. Fausoni would be next. I also find their Langhe Nebbiolo and Barbera d’alba to be excellent values. Have you tasted through the range?

Not yet but was curious because buying them now. Picked up a few cotta and one Fausoni. Thanks for your view!
Seems like Cotta consistently preferred by critics and cellar tracker but by only a slight margin
