Charles Legend
Brut Rosé Magnum 1.5L
"The culmination of elegance and celebration: a monumental format that offers a silky texture and superior aromatic complexity."
The Magnum Advantage: The Collector's Format
The Magnum (1.5 Liter) format is the ultimate choice for enjoying signature Rosé. By doubling the liquid volume, the oxygen ratio is reduced, allowing for more controlled micro-oxygenation. The result is a rosé that preserves its vibrant freshness and delicate salmon pigments for much longer. With an extended aging period of 4 to 6 years on lees, this Champagne develops an aristocratic fineness of bubbles and impeccable integration.

4. Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Magnum the preferred format of sommeliers?
Because wine in 1.5L bottles evolves more slowly and uniformly than in 750ml ones, resulting in a Champagne with greater complexity and better-preserved freshness.
How long can I cellar this Magnum?
It has exceptional cellaring potential. If kept in a cool, dark place, it can evolve positively for the next 8 to 10 years.
