Hoeveel glazen gaan er in een magnum Dom Pérignon?

Tien tot vijftien, afhankelijk van hoe vol je schenkt. Reken op 10 tot 12 cl per glas als je tot tweederde vult.

Hoeveel procent alcohol zit er in de magnum?

12,5%, gelijk aan alle andere flessen van dit huis. Het formaat verandert het alcoholpercentage niet.

Wat is het verschil met de gewone fles van 75 cl?

Het is dezelfde jaargangchampagne, maar in een fles van anderhalve liter. Volgens de omschrijving geeft dat grote formaat de wijn een rustige, brede opbouw: mild, elegant en verfijnd, met witte bloemen, citrus en steenfruit en daarachter hout en geroosterde tonen.

Hoe koel je een magnum champagne?

In water met ijs, niet in de vriezer, en begin ongeveer een uur van tevoren. Een magnum heeft bijna dubbel zoveel tijd nodig als een gewone fles. Zorg dat de fles helemaal onder staat, anders blijft de bovenkant lauw.

Welk glas hoort bij deze champagne?

Een tulpvormig champagneglas of een wittewijnglas, zodat de bloemige en geroosterde tonen ruimte krijgen. Zet er genoeg klaar: uit één magnum komen tien tot vijftien glazen, en tussendoor spoelen is zonde van het moment.

Dom Pérignon Blanc Vintage magnum

One and a half liters of vintage champagne in a single bottle, enough for ten to fifteen glasses. According to the description, the large format gives the wine a calm, broad development; in practice, it mainly means that one bottle is enough to go around the table.

What is Dom Pérignon Blanc Vintage Magnum?

One and a half liters from a single bottle

A magnum is twice the size of a regular bottle: 150 cl instead of 75, enough for ten to fifteen glasses. It does more than save you from opening a second bottle halfway through the evening; it also changes the character. The description of this bottle names the large format as the reason for its calm, broad development: soft, elegant and refined, without anything ever jumping forward. The wine spends about eight years aging on the lees before it reaches the market.

Otherwise, it is simply Dom Pérignon: pinot noir and chardonnay, 12.5% alcohol, and vintage champagne only, because this house does not make non-vintage brut. The 2013 vintage is the version currently being served. The suggested dishes include shellfish and caviar, which suits a bottle intended to be passed around the table rather than served standing by the door.

What does Dom Pérignon Blanc Vintage Magnum taste like?

Soft, floral and broadly structured

Nose

Flowers and citrus

White flowers, citrus and stone fruit form the first layer, with anise and mint behind them. Everything emerges calmly; nothing pushes forward.

Palate

Soft and refined

Soft, elegant and refined. According to the description, the large format gives the wine a broad, unhurried development, and that is exactly how it feels.

Finish

Wood and toast

At the back, woody and toasty notes emerge, resulting from years of aging on the lees. They maintain its softness without making it sweet.

Sweet 1/5

Fresh 4/5

Floral 3/5

Power 3/5

Flavor profile of the magnum. The same wine in a regular bottle comes across a little tighter; the P2 is clearly spicier and more toasty from aging.

How to drink it

Serving a magnum requires preparation

A litre and a half cools more slowly, weighs more and lasts longer than a regular bottle. Three things to arrange in advance, and the rest will take care of itself.

Start chilling in time

Allow about an hour in water with ice, so almost twice as long as for a 75 cl bottle. Submerge the bottle completely; a magnum sticking halfway out of the water will never get cold enough at the top.

Bar tools →

Pour with both hands

Hold the bottle at the bottom with one hand and support the base with the other. When opening, turn the bottle rather than the cork and keep it tilted, so the weight does not work against you and you do not lose any mousse.

To the glasses →

Set out enough glasses

This bottle provides ten to fifteen glasses, so set out enough glasses right away. Pour 10 to 12 cl per glass and fill them two-thirds full, so the floral nose has room.

A magnum is also best served neat: its size makes it tempting to add something, but eight years on the lees is just as easily ruined by orange juice. If you want to serve sparkling cocktails, choose a simpler brut.

Which glasses do you set out for a magnum?

The same applies here: aged champagne needs room for its aroma, so a wine glass or a spacious tulip glass brings out the most. For a large table, the number of glasses also matters: a coupe is festive, but the bubbles dissipate faster in it than in a tulip-shaped glass.

Everything about Dom Pérignon →

How many glasses are in a Dom Pérignon magnum?

Ten to fifteen, depending on how full you pour. Allow 10 to 12 cl per glass if you fill it two-thirds full.

What percentage of alcohol is in the magnum?

12.5%, the same as all the other bottles from this house. The format does not change the alcohol percentage.

What is the difference from the regular 75 cl bottle?

It is the same vintage champagne, but in a one-and-a-half-liter bottle. According to the description, this larger format gives the wine a calm, broad structure: mild, elegant and refined, with white flowers, citrus and stone fruit, followed by woody and toasted notes.

How do you chill a champagne magnum?

In ice water, not in the freezer, and start about an hour in advance. A magnum needs almost twice as long as a regular bottle. Make sure the bottle is completely submerged; otherwise the top will remain lukewarm.

Which glass goes with this champagne?

A tulip-shaped champagne glass or a white wine glass, so the floral and toasted notes have room to unfold. Have enough ready: one magnum yields ten to fifteen glasses, and rinsing glasses in between would spoil the moment.
