Founded in 1772 in Reims, Maison Veuve Clicquot has established itself as one of the great signatures of champagne. Behind this name lies a singular story: that of Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, a visionary pioneer who shaped the international reputation of this estate in the 19th century. Today integrated within the LVMH group, Veuve Clicquot perpetuates excellent savoir-faire, combining heritage, innovation and refinement.
The Advantages of the Magnum
The Veuve Clicquot champagne magnum establishes itself as the embodiment of prestige. This 1.5-liter format, equivalent to two classic bottles, enhances the tasting experience through its unique assets.
Symbol of Prestige and Celebration
The magnum at Veuve Clicquot is much more than a simple bottle: it embodies the elegance and audacity that characterize the House. Its spectacular format attracts attention, enhances the table and stands out during significant celebrations. To offer or serve a Veuve Clicquot magnum is to affirm a certain art of living and share an exceptional moment, in the purest tradition of prestige champagne. This format is also highly appreciated for high-end gifts.
Better Aging and Storage Capacity
The magnum offers an optimal aging environment. Thanks to a reduced wine-to-air ratio, evolution is slower and more controlled: aromas gain complexity, the mousse becomes finer, and the wine retains all its freshness. The emblematic cuvées of the house, such as Carte Jaune or Réserve Cuvée, thus reveal more nuances after a few years of aging in large format. This evolution potential makes the magnum particularly sought after by collectors and enlightened enthusiasts.
How Many Glasses Can You Serve with a Champagne Magnum?
With its capacity of 1.5 liters, equivalent to two standard 75cl bottles, a champagne magnum allows you to serve about 12 glasses, which is ideal for a group of 6 to 12 people.
