Yes, but I have been told by a couple of people that the big Champagne houses sell the good stuff in France and export the not-so-good stuff to the US. Is that true? If so, it might be worth it to to some people to buy a big-name bottle in France.
Kate_Canuck, I believe, wrote a nice description of her visit to Bardy-Chauffert last summer which made me want to go there too.
