Imperial or Methuselah

---

Known as an Imperial in Bordeaux, and a Methuselah in Champagne or Burgundy, it holds eight bottles or 6 Litres. Perfect as a centrepiece. The larger bottle means the wine ages more gracefully in the cellar, as the air to wine ratio in the bottle is smaller than for the 75cl bottle. The cost of production and rarity of these bottles means that they cost a little more than their bottle equivalent.
