I'm surprised that you haven't, given how much of a Champagne fan you are.
I like Krug, do prefer a couple of other houses for 'big house' Champagne (partial to Taittinger CdC and Salon myself), but the '96 Krug is absolutely stellar. Worth seeking out.
As for Meunier... I like it a lot (don't discriminate against Champagne grapes ) as well. Egly Ouriet and Chartogne-Taillet make a couple of lovely single variety Meunier Champagnes. (Counting down to when Herr Bueker enters this thread...)
