Large Format Bottles

A Magnum of your favorite Cabernet
or Champagne is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party. And craftier types can create a flower arrangement around an empty bottle of Perrier Jouet Fleur de Champagne. As things go, the maturing of wine in the bottle is a
slow process. Because of the very limited supply of air in each bottle,
the wine oxidizes slowly. But this is not such a bad thing. It is this
slow maturation that allows a wine to reach its full potential. If you
ever have any doubts about this principle, simply leave a bottle
uncorked overnight. If you manage to catch the bottle before it turns,
you will notice that the wine has, in a fashion, matured. Still, because
the process has occurred to quickly, the wine is likely to seem more
corked than it is properly aged.

If maturing your wines in the bottle allows them to reach full
potential, then maturing them in large bottles allows them to reach new
heights of excellence. It is simply that the ratio of air to wine is
much lower in a large format bottle. With less oxygen, the wine matures
more slowly. This not only creates a superior wine, it permits us to
drink older vintages long after their 750ml bottling have passed prime.
For this reason, large format bottles are often preferred by collectors.
