For nearly two centuries, the House of Bollinger has been a symbol of Champagne excellence. Founded in 1829 in Aÿ, at the heart of Champagne, this family-owned estate is today among the last great houses to preserve their independence. Highly sought after for its aging potential, the magnum enhances aromas over the years, revealing the full complexity of Bollinger champagnes.
What is the capacity of a champagne magnum?
A champagne magnum holds 1.5 liters, the equivalent of two standard 75 cl bottles. Ideal for festive occasions, this format encourages sharing and heightens conviviality.
How many glasses can be served from a magnum of champagne?
A 1.5-liter magnum generally serves between 12 and 14 glasses, depending on glass size (between 10 and 12 cl each).
The magnum, a guarantee of exceptional longevity
This format is renowned for offering greater longevity than standard bottles. Thanks to an optimal ratio between air and wine volume, magnums age more slowly and harmoniously, allowing cuvées to develop remarkable aromatic richness and refined effervescence. Enthusiasts and collectors particularly appreciate this ability to reveal the full potential of great champagnes over time.
Bollinger cuvées available in magnum
Special Cuvée: the emblem of the House of Bollinger
Special Cuvée perfectly embodies the House’s history and DNA. Presented in magnum, it gains in complexity through slower aging, refining the finesse of its bubbles and intensifying aromas of brioche, dried fruits, and spices. The already emblematic balance between power and elegance is thus elevated by this large format.
Bollinger Rosé: between structure and freshness
Bollinger Rosé captivates with its gourmet red-fruit notes, vinous structure, and vibrant freshness. The magnum extends its maturation, allowing strawberry, cherry, and redcurrant aromas to evolve. The mousse becomes creamier, the finish longer, for a refined sensory experience.
La Grande Année: a sublime vintage magnum
An emblematic vintage cuvée of the House, La Grande Année comes exclusively from exceptional years and ages for a long time on lees. The magnum grants it remarkable aromatic development, revealing exceptional richness and harmony. Complex notes of dried fruits, candied citrus, and honey fully express themselves, while the palate is deep, structured, and persistent, illustrating the nobility of this great champagne.
Each Bollinger magnum reflects the House’s know-how and exacting standards, combining tradition and passion to deliver outstanding tasting moments.
