Production Details For the FIFA 2026 release, manually harvested fruit is pressed immediately at vineyard presses; the result is cold-fermented under temperature control, rests until the end of winter, is blended, undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle in Taittinger’s cool cellars, and matures on lees for 3–4 years.
Tasting Notes FIFA 2026: subtle pale-gold color, fine persistent bubbles, peach, white flowers, vanilla pod and brioche, with fresh-fruit and honey flavors. FIFA Bottle 2018: fruit and brioche with peach, white-flower and vanilla aromas; a lively, fresh, crisp palate with delicate fruit and honey.
