In 2010, Dom Pérignon paid tribute to the legendary pop artist Andy Warhol with a highly collectible limited-edition release of its acclaimed 2002 vintage. Warhol, a renowned admirer of the house, famously recorded in his diaries his adventures at Studio 54 where he and his club-going cohort would hoard cases of Dom Pérignon. The tribute bottle, designed by the Design Laboratory at Central Saint Martins, reimagined the iconic shield label in Warhol's vibrant, saturated color palettes. Inside, the liquid is the classic Dom Pérignon Brut: a precise, harmonious blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from Grand Cru sites and the historic Abbey of Hautvillers. It showcases the house's signature tension, vibrant acidity, toasted brioche notes, and deep mineral complexity developed over nearly a decade of lees aging.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Named after the legendary 17th-century Benedictine monk who pioneered winemaking techniques at the Abbey of Hautvillers, Dom Pérignon is a world-renowned prestige Champagne house based in Épernay, France. Now owned by Moët & Chandon, the house is defined by its uncompromising commitment to vintage-only releases, meaning each bottling is crafted exclusively from the harvest of a single exceptional year. Composed of a harmonious blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the wines undergo a minimum of eight years of cellar aging on the lees to develop their signature complexity, tension, and silky texture. The iconic Dom Pérignon Brut stands as the benchmark of this meticulous philosophy, celebrated globally for its precise minerality, vibrant acidity, and profound aging potential.
