A Tribute To More Than The Millennium
This giant bottle is a tribute tot the changing of the era. It also symbolizes the legacy of Korbel and the individuals and families who made this small winery in Sonoma County, California, into one of the most notes champagne houses in the world.
The Commemorative Bottle
Your Korbel Champagne Commemorative Bottle is an unusually rare size. It contains the equivilant of 16 bottles of champagne-or eighty glasses.
Should any curious individual ask "How big is it?", there are two ways to respond. By saying it's a 12 Liter Millennium bottle. Or a Balthazar.
A Balthazar, according to traditional wine nomenclature, is a 12 Liter bottle of Champagne. Large-format bottles are typically named after biblical kings. In this case, one of the three wise men, or kings who followed the Star of Bethlehem.
A Lasting Finish A unique firing method has been used to blend a palette of ceramic inks and the sparkle of real 21K gold into a a lasting decorative finish. Because the finish is actually bonded into the glass of the bottle, its stunning beauty will last indefinitely. Perhaps even to the next millennium.
Tasting Notes Our Millennium Cuvée is also a unique creation. Soft, elegant and playful - with its own charming character.
The cuvée was crafted with select hand-picked chardonnay and pinot noir grapes. You'll fined each sip unravels with delicate, crisp apple, citrus and pineapple flavors imparted by the chardonnay grapes. At the finish, the pinot noir grapes offer a gentle richness with lingering berry and cherry notes.
