Hi Steve ! Happy New Year !
Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to answer because I tend to escape from the really dry Champagnes, at least at economic prices.
I like them semi dry like the Moreau Billard or even juicy like the Pommery. I would say thet the R by Ruinart seems to fit your needs and is almost always tasting the same, since it is a blend. But as I said, one year we really had a problem with them.
The best one I tasted in your description is the Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame but it's expensive and may cost around 250 dollars a bottle in the US.
