Golden Jeroboam from Moet & Chandon

Filed under: Wine

If you're looking for a way to make a real impression at your next party, pulling out a Jeroboam of Moet & Chandon champagne is a sure way to get attention. But for the truly extroverted, the French masters of the bubbly have now announced an even more impressive presentation.

Released ahead of the holiday season, Moet's Golden Jeroboam is dressed in authentic gold leaf by Parisian jeweler Arthus Bertrand, and packs three liters – equivalent to a Double Magnum – of the finest sparkling wine.

Representing the year of the vineyard's founding, only 1743 examples will be offered, each fetching a handsome €800 ($1045).
