Cellar “velocity” of champagne > white > red.
Not much Ledru left sadly, her black label Brut and Extra Brut NVs have been some of our favorite over time.

Jay, I am sure that if this had been limited to the last five year, all the top spots would be Burgundy producers.

My sense is that most of the time there is appreciation like with the Truchots is when the children of the owner don’t want to go into the winery and the winery is sold. No more new wine creates a lot of scarcity that there won’t be for most producers.
Honestly, I wish that had happened with Truchot. I want to drink my Truchots so I get very little if any benefit from the price increases. Had the winery continued to make wine, I would have a lot more Truchot wines and would be a lot better off.

Not going based on consumption, but rather what I know I will be drinking a lot of because it’s in my cellar and I will continue to buy in the future:

Actually, I could list 30-40 grower Champers that would need to be included.
Extradimensional WCY!, hmmm… jury’s still out, but I’ll probably grab more

It’s been summer but I’m not sure I would have a red producer in the top 10 anyways. But I feel like that’s as much about drinking a more diverse selection of producers for red wines than that I drink all white wine(though the percentage of white bottles we consume is probably 75%).

We’re overdue for a lunch/dinner Mark, but so long as my container arrives in time remind me to open a certain bottle for you.
That sounds great. And I have a certain bottle too…

Consumption by volume.
The basic D-V Blanc de Blanc is about $38 inOregon and we but a case and salt it in amongst the other producers. It’s more straightforward but it also allows me to go up the ladder more with a few other producers.
About 2 weeks ago we had the 2012 L-B VV du Levant. That was a spectacular bottle, but I need to balance my costs a bit given that we drink champagne about 3 nights a week.

Having had at least a couple hundred bottles i can confidently say it’s never better than the day it’s bottled and while still good day two after opening it is much better day one
