The Music Box combines visual elements such as the Maltese Cross and illustrated instructions to draw attention.

The House of Lanson and its winemakers have been crafting champagne using the traditional (non-malolactic) method for over 250 years.

The gift set has an RRP of $52.99 and will be sold through Dan Murphy’s from 9 November.
