The brand of the house most appreciated in this country.is its Carte dtf>r, a very dry wine which, in conjunction with the firm's Extra Quality, secured the first place at a recent chain– pagne competition in England. In the neighbourhood of the Pommery and de St. Marceaux ·establishments numerous other champagne manufacturers have their cellars formed from the abandoned quarries so numerous on this side of the city. Of some of these firms we have already spoken, but there remain to be mentioned Messrs. Kunklemann and Co., Ruinart pere et fils,-George Goulet, Jules Champion, Theophile Roederer, &c. The cellars of the three last-named are immediately outside the Porte Dieu-Lumiere, near which is a house with a curious bas-relief on its face, the subject of which has been a source of much perplexity to local antiquaries.
