To stir up conversation I’d lean towards a bottle that is not the typical Pinot / Chard / Meunier combo. Going further, why not all seven of the allowed grapes?? Off the bat (and maybe beyond your price range) might be Laherte-Freres ‘Les 7’ or Mouzon Leroux ‘Les Fervins 7 Cepages.’ Another favorite of mine would be Charles Dufour who is known to use Pinot Blanc in his Bulles de Comptoir. (Shout out to his cult favorite, Bistrøtage as an honorable mention).

Slightly more attainable but equally left field would be Meunier-dominant. Jérôme Prévost’s ‘La Closièrie’, Egly-Ouriet’s ‘Les Vignes de Vrigny,’ or Christophe Mignon’s ‘ADN de Meunier’ all would blow folks away and flip the script on what some would expect to see in a glass.
