While I hold Vino Me in high esteem, RM does not mean better Champagne... not even close.

I will put Krug, Salon, Bolinger RD, Pol Roger Churchill, Roberts, Philipponnat, Gosset, and others against RM wines in a blind tasting any day any place!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree and I hope you understand that I never said otherwise. I don't think you can compare grower Champagne to the tete de cuvee's from the large houses.

There are 2200 growers in the Champagne region. Some good, some bad, just like any region. However, you can compare grower champagnes to similarly priced champagnes from the large houses and they will more than hold their own.
