4 reasons to choose a Magnum

18 November 2022

1 - MAGNUM, THE BEST CELEBRATION

A Magnum of Champagne is immediately synonymous with celebration! It automatically sets the tone and puts a smile on everyone's face, the best way to celebrate any occasion. The Magnum exudes an undeniable prestige that not only enhances the Champagne but also gives those who taste it the feeling of treating themselves. 

2 - MAGNUM, LA crème de la crème 

This is certainly the most prestigious of all Champagne bottles. Thanks to its capacity, the ageing process is slower, allowing a more harmonious development of aromas and consequently offering a greater complexity.
Champagnes are rich in living elements, which make up the Cuvée as a whole. A small-format bottle captures less of the elements that make up the whole of a wine. By bottling a larger volume in a larger container, the characteristics of the wine are as it was in the vats or barrels, in 'vins clairs', just before the 'mise en bouteille'. In a large format, Champagne is more at ease, it has everything to express itself at its best.
The Vignerons usually say that the same Cuvée elaborated in three different bottles - demi, bouteille and Magnum - will lead to three completely different Champagnes.
As one of the Vignerons told me once:

I remember that my grandfather once brought me three glasses of Champagne and asked me to identify the contents of each one. I was convinced it was three different Cuvées, but that was not the case at all, it was the same Champagne, from the same vintage, but aged in three different bottles!

3 - MAGNUM, ONLY THE BEST MUST!

The Magnum represents a boast for the Vigneron, his pride.
Before elaborating it, he has to decide if a specific Cuvée, from a specific vintage, can evolve well over time and express itself to great effect in a Magnum. This is why he offers it the best conditions by choosing large-format bottles that will enhance its aromas, giving them an extraordinary harmony, rich in complexity.

4 - MAGNUMS, WE WILL SOON NEED THEM!

The holidays are approaching and we want to celebrate them with friends and family. Magnums kick off the celebrations. A small detail to remember: to offer them to your friends at the right temperature, put them in the fridge about 24 hours before serving.
Their large capacity implies a longer time to lower their temperature. On the other hand, thanks to their greater thermal inertia, they will stay fresh for longer! 
These are all the good reasons to choose a Magnum for your next Champagne tasting during the festive season and check out our Magnum Coffret!
Vive les Magnums!
Cheers et à votre santé!
