Production Years > 1960s Champagne

Hi guys.

So we are trying to decipher when a bottle of champagne we have might have been produced. So hoping there might be some people here who can help.

Backstory – it’s part of a collection we manage and the story is the guy who the collection is about (Bruce McLaren) won/podium at a race in Reims. As a reward he got a case of champagne.

Naturally over the years these things disappear. Most likely was enjoyed at a house party or two! However one was donated to the collection saying it was a bottle Bruce won at Reims.

However photos of him on the podium show a different style label on the neck.

Champagne
Heidsieck & Co
Dry Monopole

Interesting notes to help decipher
– has a royal warrant from the Queen
– contents is in pint/ounces

I have a photo of Bruce celebrating with a bottle same brand different neck label. Circa 1962.

Hopefully some wine detectives here 🙂
