Win two exclusive bottles of French Champagne

Good champagne is a luxury; poor champagne, a disappointment. Why settle for second best?

The quality of Count de Dampierre's champagnes is superb, their pure and vibrant taste the result of his own expert blend of wines made only from grands crus chardonnay and pinot noir grapes.

Count de Dampierre makes only 220,000 bottles a year, which means that he can guarantee that every one of them contains only the very finest champagne. We have a bottle of Dampierre Family Reserve 1998 Grand Cru Champagne and a magnum of Dampierre Cuvee des Ambassadeurs Champagne to give away. Simply answer the following question and send us your answer as per per instructions.

Count de Dampierre makes how many bottles of champagne a year?
a) 220,000
b) 250,000
c) 200,000
