✨ Technical Specifications
This exclusive collaboration brings together the historic prestige of Dom Perignon and the vibrant contemporary vision of Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. Dom Perignon is produced exclusively as a vintage Champagne, crafted only in exceptional years from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards. The house traces its spiritual lineage back to the Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Perignon, who pioneered revolutionary winemaking techniques in the Abbey of Hautvillers. For this special release, Murakami reimagined the iconic bottle with his signature smiling flowers, juxtaposing the deep, slow-aged complexity of the Champagne with modern pop art. Aged on its lees for nearly a decade, the wine exhibits a precise balance of vibrant acidity, rich brioche notes, toasted nuts, and a signature mineral-driven finish.
🍾 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.
