Wine/Champagne in AF FC

On international flights, as you all know, champagne is usually the only pre-flight alcoholic beverage offered.
I've been served some great champagnes on AeroMexico which always comes as a surprise. I don't equate Mexico with champagne and would guess they'd just blow it off but they do try hard to offer a superior FC experience.
We're flying AF in FC on an upcoming trip and there I'd expect a truly superior product. Anybody have any experience on the champagne/wine offerings in FC on AF??
Cholula -

I traveled AF FC at the end of April. Here were the selections. They were the same both ways.

Champagne - Lanson Noble Cuvee 1996
White Bordeaux - Sauternes 1er Cru Classe 1998 Chatteau de Rayne Vigneau
White Burgundy - Chablis Grand Cru "Les Clos" 2000 Maison J. Moreau & Fils
Red Burgundy - Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 1998 Maison Laboure-Roi
Red Bordeaux - Pessac-Leognan Grand Cru Classe 1999 Chateau Olivier

They were okay, but nothing really stood out. The espresso was great however!
