There's something rather wonderful about opening a magnum. They look impressive, they're great fun to share, and there's a very good reason why the 1.5-litre bottle is widely considered an ideal format for both Champagne and still wines.

With twice the wine of a standard bottle, magnums generally allow for slower, more gradual development, helping preserve freshness, build complexity and offer excellent ageing potential. And, of course, there's the simple pleasure of sharing one.

We've brought together a brilliant collection of Champagne and still wine magnums at Normanby, from renowned producers to smaller discoveries. Whether it's for a festive gathering, a special celebration or a bottle to put away for another occasion, there's plenty to discover.
