✨ Technical Specifications
This special release represents a striking intersection of fine winemaking and contemporary art, featuring a limited-edition bottle and gift box designed by the acclaimed German artist Michael Riedel. Known for his work with transformation and text deconstruction, Riedel's design mirrors the complex evolution and metamorphosis that occurs within a bottle of Dom P rignon during its extensive cellar aging. Inside the artistic packaging is the classic, prestigious Dom P rignon Vintage Champagne. Sourced from Grand Cru vineyards and the historic Premier Cru of the Abbey of Hautvillers, where the Benedictine monk Dom P rignon pioneered essential sparkling winemaking techniques in the 17th century, this cuv e is a masterclass in tension and harmony. It is crafted exclusively in exceptional years, undergoing a minimum of eight years of aging on its lees to develop its signature autolytic complexity, precise minerality, and silky texture.
