Rehoboam wine bottle: the 4.5-litre large format

The Rehoboam is a large-format bottle with a capacity of 4.5 litres, equivalent to 6 standard 75 cl bottles. Particularly associated with Champagne, it is a sought-after format for celebrations, exceptional cuvées and bottles intended to make a lasting impression at the table.

With its generous volume, a Rehoboam can serve around 30 glasses, making it well suited to receptions, festive meals and occasions shared among several guests. More imposing than a magnum or jeroboam, while remaining easier to handle than the largest formats, it offers a refined balance between presence, conviviality and elegance.

A distinctive format for special occasions

The Rehoboam is especially appreciated for its visual impact and its association with memorable moments. In Champagne, it lends a ceremonial dimension to service and allows the same cuvée to be shared across a larger table. Like other large formats, it also benefits from a more favourable wine-to-oxygen ratio than a standard bottle, which can support a slower and more gradual evolution over time.

Rehoboams, provenance and preservation

For an older Rehoboam or a bottle from a sought-after house or vintage, preservation remains essential. The wine level, provenance, storage conditions, as well as the integrity of the cork and capsule, should all be considered carefully. These criteria are especially important for large formats, whose rarity gives each bottle a more singular character.
