Dom Perignon's Tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat represents a striking intersection of classical winemaking mastery and revolutionary contemporary art. Inside the specially designed tribute vessel lies the iconic Dom Perignon Vintage Champagne, a prestige cuvee crafted exclusively in exceptional years from a harmonious, near-equal blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The grapes are sourced from the region's finest Grand Crus alongside the historic Premier Cru of the Abbey of Hautvillers, where the legendary Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Perignon famously refined the methode champenoise in the 17th century. Each vintage undergoes a slow, transformative maturation on its lees for at least eight years in the estate's cool chalk cellars. This slow evolution yields a magnificent tension between brightness and maturity, mirroring the complex, layered energy of Basquiat's expressive artwork.
🍾 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.
