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":269897105517,"handle":"big-bottles-magnums-and-more","title":"Big Bottles - Large formats","updated_at":"2024-12-01T13:55:02+11:00","body_html":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIs bigger always better?

"Billecart’s enchanting Brut Réserve upholds its aspiration of lofty freshness and elegance, even in the presence of impressive levels of reserve wines, now generously more than 50% of the blend, and impressive lees age, now 32 months. This cuvée is a captivating contradiction, dressing one of Champagne’s higher representations of meunier in one of the most delicate and graceful of attires." Tyson Stelzer
About The House
One of the leading families of Champagne, this medium sized, high quality domain is one to be admired. Billecart-Salmon (Pronounced beel-kahr sahl-moh) have a fresh, clean and elegant style. They champion the use of the meunier grape which is often added to other cuvées without fanfare in other houses. The absolutely pristine wine making facilities located in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ are overseen by multiple generations of the family as well as chef winemaker Francois Domi. The house purposely ferments at a lower temperature elongating the ferment to weeks and not days as can be standard in champagne, which helps capture the pristine nature of the fruit. Every step of the wine making process at the house is artful, right down to the precision of the dosage which is unique for every disgorgement conducted in batches.
