Champagne Taittinger Brut Reserve FIFA World Cup Label NV

Champagne, FranceA lot of the FIFA champagne, the Taittinger Brut Réserve with a 3D FIFA label, was consumed during the World Cup. The 40/30/30 blend of chardonnay, pinot noir, and meunier was a fine ambassador for the famous French Appellation. The secret is in the ageing: 3–4 years on lees, substantially longer than the minimum requirement; and in the high chardonnay content, which gives it both freshness and elegance. If you are a collector, the good news is that this label adds to the wine's rarity, likely giving it some extra value down the road.Tasted: 16 May 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
