Their names often have biblical origins: the Jeroboam (3 litres) is named after the first king of the northern Kingdom of Israel, while the Methuselah (6 litres) recalls the long-lived patriarch in the Book of Genesis, suggesting longevity and significance. The name \"Nebuchadnezzar\" for the large-format Champagne bottle (holding 15 litres, or 20 standard bottles) comes from the historical figure Nebuchadnezzar II, the powerful king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire who ruled in the 6th century BCE. Known for his grand ambitions, monumental constructions like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and military conquests, Nebuchadnezzar symbolized power, grandeur, and a larger-than-life presence. This choice of name reflects the scale and majesty of the bottle size, aligning with the idea of abundance and celebration that such a large Champagne bottle brings to any occasion. Larger bottles offer both practical and experiential benefits—since Champagne matures more slowly in these formats, the wine develops complex flavours' and finer bubbles, creating an elevated taste. Large formats are also perfect for large gatherings, weddings, corporate events, and holiday parties, where they offer not just an impressive visual but also a communal experience as guests gather to pour from a shared, grand bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2024-10-30T12:29:08+11:00","alt":null,"width":1080,"height":1080,"src":"\/\/emperorchampagne.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/SPRING_RACING_2024_OFFER_INSTAGRAM_POSTS_TILE_4.jpg?v=1730251750"}},{"id":434061713,"handle":"bigbottles","updated_at":"2024-12-24T08:15:03+11:00","published_at":"2017-07-19T13:46:00+10:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"Big Bottles","body_html":"Why have a standard champagne bottle when you could have a BIG bottle?

Heidsieck was the son of a highly regarded champagne merchant who had famously ridden into Moscow with crates of champagne ahead of Napoleon’s army in 1811, in order to ensure that he was ready to celebrate with whichever side happened to win the looming conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut, not to be outdone by his famous father, Heidsick himself also lived a rich and extraordinary life, and is credited with popularising champagne in the United States, where he was a regular figure of New York high-society and was affectionately known as the original ‘Champagne Charlie’. During the American Civil War, he was detained under suspicion of being a French and Confederate spy; but, after his release, he managed to restore his wealth and reputation, ultimately re-establishing his champagne house as one of the most influential and highly regarded in all the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the many decades which have followed, the strength and success of the Heidsieck house has endured and grown – and to this day, the unique flavours and characteristics of Charles Heidsieck champagne are highly sought after and regarded the world over, such that Heidsieck is now not only one of the most admired and prestigious houses in the Champagne region of France, but also one of the most celebrated and awarded wine producers anywhere in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuy Charles Heidsieck Champagne Online\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the consistently superior nature of the wines it produces, the Charles Heidsieck brand is virtually unrivalled when it comes to prestige and reputation.
