For starters, the following are in current rotation. All, if purchased from D&M or locally [here] would be within your specified range and most would be at the lower end of it.

Charles Heidsieck Mis en Cave '92 '92 '95 '96 [hard to find now]
Bruno Paillard Brut Premiere Cuvee
Beaumont de Crayeres Cuvee de Prestige Brut
Henri Billiot Brut Reserve [I love this stuff]
Cattier Brut Blanc de Blanc 1er Cru
E. Barnaut Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru a Bouzy Champagne
Charles Ellner Cuvee de Reserve Brut
Pierre Gimmonet Cuis 1er Cru Blanc de Blac Brut [steely& unique]
Jean Pernet Brut Les Mesnil sur Oger Brut
Jacques Selosse [can't remember the exact bottle name right now]

So there's ten for starters. Hope you had your pencil and paper ready. They're all winners [in my book] and all have personality. No shrinking violets in this lot.

A Sante!
