Well, my Hachette from, hmm, where is the date? It's a couple of years old. Anyways, says: Blanc de blancs Cuvée Grand Couronnement 1990; * (good wine) n.c.(hectares?); 32,000 (bottles); (aged in vat); (temperature regulation);

100-149 FF (told you it was from a couple years ago!) Just 6KM (4 miles) from Epernay, Damery offers the tourist the interesting 12th-century church of St-Georges, with its richly sculpted transept. And after looking round the church, there is nothing to stop you going to explore the deep cellars of this champagne house, which belongs to the Lhopital family. Their Blanc de Blancs 1990 received high praise for its finesse, its floral freshness and its hint of citrus. It would ideally partner fish served in a beurre blanc. (NM)(?)

Oh, and here is their site:

which crashed my browser :P

Thanks! I later found a reference to the Grande Reserve in a '94 Hachette, where it also got a star (the BdB was a coup de coeur that year).

Not much joy for me either at the website...

I guess a pretty nice gift! ;)
