✨ Technical Specifications
This special release represents a striking collaboration between the historic Champagne house of Dom Pérignon and the German contemporary artist Michael Riedel. Released to celebrate the transformation that occurs during the wine's long maturation, Riedel's limited-edition packaging uses a deconstructed, optical pattern of the letters 'D' and 'P' to mirror the passage of time. Inside the bottle is Dom Pérignon's legendary Rosé, a dramatic tribute to Pinot Noir. Crafting this cuvée is a daring balancing act: it requires blending a significant portion of still red Pinot Noir sourced from the legendary Grand Cru vineyards of Bouzy and Aÿ with Chardonnay and white Pinot Noir. The wine is then aged in the deep chalk cellars of Épernay for over a decade, emerging as a complex masterpiece defined by notes of wild strawberries, smoky minerality, copper-toned structure, and a velvety, tension-filled finish.
🍾 About the Producer
Named in honor of the 17th-century Benedictine monk who pioneered foundational sparkling winemaking techniques at the historic Abbey of Hautvillers, Dom Pérignon stands as the archetype of prestige vintage Champagne. Owned by Moët Hennessy, the house strictly produces only vintage wines, releasing cuvées exclusively in harvest years deemed truly exceptional. Crafted from a seamless blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from Grand Cru vineyards and the historic Premier Cru of Hautvillers, each vintage undergoes a minimum of eight years of lees aging. The signature Dom Pérignon Brut, along with its rare Rosé and extended-aging Plénitude editions, is celebrated worldwide for its immaculate balance of youthful freshness, mineral precision, and deep, autolytic complexity.
