Piper Heidsieck – Ballon d’Or 2019

Ballon d’Or 2019

For the first time in 2019, a Champagne House has been chosen to be a partner of the Ballon d’or award ceremony.

The Amaury group, which took over the organization of the ceremony from FIFA in 2017, has opted for a champagne as a partner of the event. But it is also the first time that a champagne is served and offered to the laureates. The brands Piper-Heidsieck and Rare Champagne were thus highlighted.

It is the same Methuselah (equivalent to eight bottles of champagne) which was dedicated by Lionel Messi and carefully preserved by the Maison Piper-Heidsieck who exhibits it in its private museum (inaccessible to the public).

All the Methuselah served at the cocktail before and after the ceremony were adorned with a collar featuring a special “Ballon d’or” macaron.

NB : Special “Ballon d’or” badge visible on the bottle (see photo).

NB : Sold with its original wooden box in perfect condition.
