-* ROY/cL CHAMf AGNE. **
1874 & 1880 VINTAGE.
A ROYAL CHAMPAGNE.
" Carte Bleu," Dry, 42s. per doz. " Carte Bleu," Extra Dry, 46s. per doz
We can strongly recommend this Wine ; it is one of the best value we ever offered ; it has all the true Champagne char.icteristics— Purity, Delicacy of Flavour, and full effervescence. It has great keeping qualities for improving with age.
THE ROYAL CHAMPAGNE. " Carte Verte," Dry 54s. per doz.
This Wine i; a fine full-bodied Champagne, and will be much esteemed by those whose palate does not appreciate a very dry Wine.
THE ROYAL CHAMPAGNE. "Carte Blanche," Reserved Cuvee, Extra Sec, 60s. per doz.
Although we quote thi>. Wine at so modest a price, the qualitj- is so exceptional that we fearlessly say- it cannot be equalled by any Wine at less than 72s. or 76s. per dozen, and the known Brands at even higher prices do not excel this choice Cuvee in any way except in the matter of price.
International Health Exhiiution — The Afi-i/ica/ T.mcs ^o-y^ :—■' Messrs. DENVER & CO.'s- exhibits of Champagne are specially to l)e recommended. A sample of the 1874 Vmtage we have carefully examined, and found perfect in buui|uet, and altogether excellent."
