Anyone had this lately? Seems to have gone over to the dark side, with a bit of RS and lacking the crisp acidity I've come to expect. Maybe just an "off" bottle, but seems too much like Clicquot for comfort.

Nope you are right at least on the Residual sugar side. I had one just before I went to France and when I tasted the "french version", it tasted more balanced and more crisp. So I asked the people there and they confirmed that the US gets a larger dosage of sugar than other countries......

Dang! Now have got to find another fav.

Can anyone recommend a champers to replace the now-corrupted Tait? Dry, crisply acidic, and less than $50.... Tankee.

You might want to give the Billecart-Salmon Blanc de Blanc a try. It may a bit over $50, but still give it just one try.
