The size of a champagne bottle influences how the champagne ages. Larger bottles often result in better ageing, allowing the champagne to develop richer and more refined flavours due to a more favourable air-to-liquid ratio. A Magnum, for example, is widely considered to produce the finest aged champagne.

Ideal for single servings, our mini bottles (piccolos) are perfect for offering a taste of luxury without opening a full-sized bottle. Great for party favours and individual gifts.
Great for couples or small gatherings, offering about three glasses of champagne — ensuring everyone gets a taste without excessive leftovers.
The gold standard for most celebrations, providing approximately six glasses. Ideal for intimate gatherings, family meals, or as a champagne gift.
A Magnum contains the equivalent of two standard bottles and is often preferred for its superior ageing potential and impressive presence at parties and larger gatherings. Approximately 12 glasses.
Holding four standard bottles (approximately 24 glasses), a Jeroboam ensures your celebration will be well-supplied. A popular choice for weddings and significant events.
With eight standard bottles worth of champagne (approximately 48 glasses), a Methuselah is suited for grand celebrations, ensuring every guest can enjoy a glass of bubbly.
Containing twelve standard bottles (approximately 72 glasses), the Salmanazar is perfect for large-scale events and is guaranteed to make a memorable centrepiece.
Equal to sixteen standard bottles (approximately 96 glasses), the Balthazar is chosen for the most extravagant events, serving as both a beverage and a statement piece.
The largest standard size we offer, a Nebuchadnezzar holds twenty standard bottles (approximately 120 glasses) and is the ultimate choice for grand celebrations, providing ample champagne for over one hundred guests.
Larger bottles not only provide a better ageing environment for champagne but also bring a wow factor to celebrations, making them memorable for all attendees.
Store them horizontally in a cool, dark place, ideally in a wine cellar. Large bottles should be handled with care, especially while pouring, due to their weight and size.
A Jeroboam (3L) or Methuselah (6L) can be ideal for weddings, depending on the guest count, as they offer both practicality and a touch of grandeur.
A standard 75cl bottle provides approximately 6 glasses. A Magnum (1.5L) provides 12 glasses, and a Jeroboam (3L) provides approximately 24 glasses.
