The Long Weekend Magnum Pack

The obvious benefit of Champagne magnums is, well, the size. Big bottles means more wine; more wine means more happiness. It’s Champagne math, and no one is arguing with it. But magnums are also superior for aging potential (if you so desire), as well as for preserving optimal freshness. The lower ratio of air to liquid inside the bottle allows the wine to age slower and more gracefully, while the greater volume of liquid makes it more resistant to temperature fluctuations, ensuring better consistency and structure protection over time.

They’re also just really, really cool. And summer is all about staying cool. Our Long Weekend 3-packs are chock-full of unfathomably delicious Champagnes that you’ll be stoked to brandish at your next gathering. Here’s a peek at what you’ll find inside:

Champagne Gallimard Père et Fils Blanc de Noirs Cuvée de Reserve Les Riceys Brut NV (Magnum 1.5L)
95 Points, Tasting Panel

This 100% Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs is grown on the same rarified limestone soils as Chablis, which is a short distance away from this warm, southern region of Champagne. Pinot Noir tends to thrive here, ripening to perfection and creating amiable, complex, and beautifully finessed bubbly of the finest order. The sensual flavors unfold from the glass with wildly fresh peaches, red cherries, plums, pink grapefruits, crumbled chalk, wild alpine herbs, and a prominent, warming essence of just-baked croissants throughout. Rich and weighty on the palate, it has a slight toffee finish to accentuate the smashing array of fruits and yeasty layers. 

Champagne Louis Chalvon Grande Reserve Brut NV (Magum 1.5L)
91 Points, Owen Bargreen

Allemant is the village that Bernard Remy chose for his estate, smack dab in the middle of the Côte des Blancs. The Grande Réserve Brut is mostly Chardonnay (65% of it), with the balance of Pinot Noir and Meunier. The fruit comes from throughout Champagne – the Montagne de Reims, which gives the roundness to the cuvee, the Côte des Blancs, which adds the acid backbone, and the Marne Valley, which brings the full, ripe fruit. Accompanying notes of ginger and lemon curd, with an orange rind make for the perfect blend of elegance and amiability.

Champagne Antoine Derigny Rosé Brut NV (Magnum 1.5L)

This absolutely thrilling bottle of bubbly goodness is crafted by the Bernard Remy Champagne estate, with Bernard’s son, Rudy, steering the course of these wines since 2008. A blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay & 5% Pinot Meunier, colored with 12% Pinot Noir from Bouzy, makes up the wine’s cepage. Aromas of garden roses, red apple skin, and wild strawberries with cream spill from the glass, as the palate brings in vibrant flavors of raspberry, cranberry, Bing cherry, spring flowers, and clementines, all accentuated by salty sea mist, nice acidity, and a really pretty, lasting finish.

Each a brilliant, boisterous, monumental bottle of large-format Champagne in their own right – but together? Showstopping. Bring home at least one of these packs, and swiftly earn the “Life of The Party” title all throughout the summer and beyond.
