May 2014 Special Champagne Tasting
Champagne de Barfontarc is new to the UK market and offers exceptional quality for the price.
The champagne will be provided through Winewyse, the exclusive agents for the UK. However, a minimum number of cases has to be
ordered by the agent, so as to obtain the lowest possible price. The idea is thus to group orders from members, guests, friends etc in order to achieve this quantity.
Orders (minimum 12 bottles with a minimum of 6 bottles per different type) will be taken, but only confirmed if a sufficient overall quantity is ordered.
