✨ Technical Specifications
The Dom Pérignon Jeff Koons 'Balloon Venus' Rosé represents a spectacular intersection of contemporary art and centuries-old winemaking heritage. This limited-edition bottling houses the iconic Dom Pérignon Rosé, a vintage Champagne crafted from a precise blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Its distinctive copper-pink hue and structured, vinous character come from the addition of still red Pinot Noir sourced from the finest Grand Cru plots. The wine pays homage to the legacy of Dom Pierre Pérignon, the 17th-century Benedictine monk who pioneered revolutionary sparkling winemaking techniques at the Abbey of Hautvillers. For this collaboration, artist Jeff Koons created a design inspired by his 'Balloon Venus' sculpture—a modern take on the prehistoric Venus of Willendorf that symbolizes fertility, rebirth, and the transformative power of time, mirroring the slow, decade-long maturation the wine undergoes in the deep chalk cellars of Épernay.
🍾 About the Producer
Dom Pérignon traces its lineage to the pioneering viticultural innovations of 17th-century Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon at the historic Abbey of Hautvillers, though the house was officially launched as Champagne's first prestige cuvée in 1921 (released in 1936) by Moët & Chandon (LVMH). Rooted across premier crus and historic grand crus in the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs, the estate's vines flourish in pure Belemnite and Micraster chalk terroirs that impart profound minerality and tension. Guided by Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon, Dom Pérignon operates exclusively as a vintage wine, crafted only in years capable of exceptional aging. Blending roughly equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the house emphasizes reductive precision, reductive lees aging, and textural interplay without oak intervention. Alongside its flagship Vintage Brut and Rosé, the benchmark Plénitude releases (P2 and P3) reveal metamorphic secondary and tertiary complexity, exemplifying the pinnacle of Champagne's structural grandeur and longevity.
