Sparkling Summer Offers from Lea & Sandeman
By Charles Lea on 13/06/2011
Our season of sparkling Summer offers continues with two great champagnes: non vintage TAITTINGER, and the ever popular RUINART in all three styles. We are also offering a 'great value copy of champagne' DENOIS' Methode Traditionelle'. TAITTINGER remains an independently owned champagne house and still produces wonderfully fine wines, based upon 40% Chardonnay, which is about double that used by most houses.
Champagne fit for a (future) King.
