Description

This is a genuine 1980 Vintage Dom Perignon Cuvee by Moet et Chandon a Epernay, Fondee en 1743, bottled at 12.1% ABV in a classic 750ml dark green glass champagne bottle with the iconic shield-shaped gold label intact and fully legible. The foil capsule shows significant age-related cracking, splitting, and distortion consistent with over four decades of storage, and the cork beneath appears to have shifted or deteriorated, suggesting this bottle is best considered a remarkable collectible display piece rather than a drinkable bottle. The back label confirms US importation through Schieffelin and Co., New York NY, sole US distributors since 1794, adding a wonderful layer of American wine history to this already storied bottle. The bottom of the bottle displays the classic Dom Perignon rope-edged punt design, and the neck foil retains the embossed Moet et Chandon Dom Perignon medallion seal -- a trophy piece for any serious champagne or vintage wine collector.
