To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Roger Federer’s professional tennis debut Moët & Chandon is releasing 20 magnums of its famed 1998 Grand Vintage champagne. Everyone of the limited edition magnum-sized bottles will be “wrapped in a black leather band like the tennis wrap on a racket,” Federer explained. “It is called ‘Greatness since 1998’, after the year I joined the professional circuit. So it has a real tennis connection and means a lot to me! I have signed the label and my embossed signature also figures on the leather wrap.”
All proceeds from the sales will go to the Roger Federer Foundation. “Our goal for 2018 is bringing education to one million underprivileged children in Southern Africa and Switzerland. I started the Roger Federer Foundation in 2003 with a focus on helping young children on the African continent, given that my mother is South African. But both my parents taught me at a young age that sharing my success and giving back to those less fortunate was not only an obligation—it was enjoyable. You cannot have success without generosity.”
To purchase the magnums ($24,000 each) contact Moët & Chandon by email: rogerfederer20@moet.com. Available from July 1.
