In accordance with this tradition Hanappler, Peyrelongue & Co., are shipping a Reserve of the famous Chateau Calon-Segur, Vintage 1926, 1st Growth Saint-Estephe, and a “Cru Classe" of Medoc, which they have especially selected for the Coronation Celebrations.

Drink the health of King George VI in Wine from Gascony, that fair Province over which reigned Kings Edward II and Edward III. Chateau Calon-Segur, one-
of the oldest Chateaux in Gascony, is well worthy of that honour.
