What's the best glass shape to taste Champagne?

We've been using a what looks like Reidel's Chardonnay glass (taller than wide) for vintage Champagnes lately and have been very happy with the results. Learned that trick in Epernay last winter. It really helps accentuate the nose and finer points of a vintage Champ. Much more so than a flute. The flute does help to preserve the bubble though and we still use them for NVs and other "late model" sparklers.
