Moët & Chandon, a brand represented by MHD Moët Hennessy Diageo and the official champagne of Formula 1®, celebrated the podium finish at the FORMULA 1® LOUIS VUITTON Monaco Grand Prix 2026 held on Sunday, June 7, 2026.
Embodying Moët & Chandon’s philosophy, 'LIFE IS BETTER WHEN SHARED,' victory in Formula 1® is a moving moment shared with teams and fans alike. In this event, where Kimi Antonelli achieved the record for the youngest-ever winner of the Monaco Grand Prix, and Lewis Hamilton and Isack Hadjar also stood on the podium, the joy was shared globally.
Moët & Chandon also appeared in the heart of the circuit, Port Hercule, as part of its partnership with Formula 1® and the Automobile Club de Monaco.
A Legacy of Joy and Celebration Since 1950 The connection between Moët & Chandon and Formula 1® dates back to the 1950 Reims Grand Prix™. When Frédéric Chandon de Brailles presented champagne to the race winner, it sparked the tradition of the 'Celebratory Jeroboam' (3L bottle) as a symbol of victory and celebration.
The special bottles delivered to the podium are signed by the winning driver and opened in the moment of victory. Each bottle carries decades of history, the memories of past champions, and the joy of sharing glory.
Beyond traditional rituals, Moët & Chandon and Formula 1® are bound by commonalities: precision, excellence, and craftsmanship. The driver's split-second control mirrors the delicate craftsmanship of champagne-making, while the pit crew's dedication recalls the expertise of a cellar master.
Quote from Sibylle Scherer, President and CEO of Moët & Chandon: 'Entering our second year since returning to Formula 1®, our partnership has evolved into a solid presence. We aim to honor the craftsmanship and teamwork that shape both our worlds, elevating the podium celebration into a moment of 'sharing victory' with everyone involved.'
