I've tried attaching a scan of the wine menu, but can't find the relevant function button, but the other champagne on offer in F for that flight was Champagne Baudry Brut Rose NV (100% pinot noir)

- Champagne Billecart-Salmon, Brut Blanc de Blancs 2002 Grand Cru, Mareuil-sur-Ay
- Champagne Baudry Brut Rose NV

Caviar was also served as a appertizer...
Thanks for these excellent bits of information - now which Champagne was best? Anything other than the same-old Charles Heidsieck, my usual [only!] choice in 2008/09!
