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?

Fruit profile is apricot and rhubarb crumble. I'm eager to see what comes next.
I can see the use of large oak which frames the wine and that streamlined acid profile and silky texture. With warmth on the tongue the flavours open up to young pineapple, fresh cream and subtle spices.
About The House
"Vilmart & Cie. traces its history back to 1890, when it was founded by Désiré Vilmart, and from the beginning, Vilmart & Cie. has always been a récoltant-manipulant, making champagne exclusively from estate-owned vines. Since 1989 the estate has been in the hands of Laurent Champs, the fifth generation of the family to take the helm of the house. The majority of Vilmart's 11 hectares of vines lie in Rilly-la-Montagne, although there are a few plots just over the border in the neighbouring village of Villers-Allerand. Vilmart is a member of Ampelos, an organization that promotes organic and sustainable viticulture, and Champs has never used any herbicides or chemical fertilizers since taking over the estate. All of the vineyards are planted with cover crops and plowed, and Champs enjoys an additional advantage in that his parcels are relatively large—only 12 different parcels over 11 hectares—meaning that he is more protected from contamination by chemical treatments in neighbouring plots."

Food Pairings
Laurent suggests pairing this with a Turbot in a creamy style sauce. We tend to agree and also think that a Tagliatelle with Chanterelles would be an excellent pairing too.
