(Paris), 26th June 1951, to the directors of the champagne house Moet & Chandon in Epernay, in French. The carbon typed letter, evidently a retained copy signed by the future Pope, is a request for champagne, 'I would be grateful if you could send to the [Apostolic] Nunciature through diplomatic channels, 4 cases of 24 bottles of champagne Brut Imperial with the usual presentation, that is to say, with the coat of arms of His Holiness'. Four small staple holes to the upper left edge and some extremely minor, light age wear, VG
Roncalli served as Apostolic Nuncio to France from 1944-53. He once declared that 'Men are like wine - some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age'.
