Champagne wine : France

"Sir, I have received the wine that you gave me the pleasure of sending. Put your hand in the right place, so that I can continue to have the pleasure I experience every time I serve the best wine of Champagne to my guests. The Marquis de Puysieulx, who arrived yesterday, says … that Père Pérignon, who was so well spoken of during his lifetime, has died. I wish you had thought of me for the finest wines from the abbey, because frankly, they are the best."
