Magnum Chateau Avenue Foch 2017 was offered with an NFT, which gives the holder digital art and intellectual property rights to the image of the famous Bored mutant-apes, along with other collectible cartoon figures featured on the bottle.

Therefore, it is not only the taste and production technology that makes it expensive, but also the bottle itself. It was created in collaboration with British entrepreneur Shami Sheen and the Sneaky Vampire Syndicate.

The most expensive Champagne before that

The Champagne broke the previous record set by Taste of Diamonds in 2013, which sold for $2.07 million. Taste of Diamonds is a blend of Grand Cru Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier that has a creamy texture. While the taste was amazing, it wasn’t enough to make the Champagne so expensive. What sets it apart is the Superman-style logo, handcrafted in 18K solid gold and prominently set in its center is a single 19-carat deep-cut flawless white diamond, replacing the Swarovski crystal that would normally be there.
