Dom Pérignon has long embraced a spirit of innovation and collaboration, drawing inspiration from the most groundbreaking contemporary talents such as Lenny Kravitz, Lady Gaga, Andy Warhol and many more. The Maison’s latest venture is a tribute to the legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose work resonates with their values of creativity and heritage. In honoring his artistry, Dom Pérignon introduces a special edition of the vintage 2015, encapsulating both Dom Pérignon's continuous pursuit of excellence and Basquiat's raw expressive power. The design of this limited special edition features parts of Basquiat's 1983 "In Italian" painting across three gift boxes that can be reassembled to form the complete artwork, mirroring the champagne’s own meticulous assemblage process in creating complex, harmonious vintages. This collection not only pays homage to Basquiat’s revolutionary spirit but also celebrates the shared narrative between two myths – the creative journey of an iconic wine and an iconoclastic artist. Each bottle carries forward their legacy, adorned with a label that fuses Dom Pérignon’s shield with Basquiat’s iconic crown symbolizing a unity of tradition and ground-breaking innovation. Two myths, separated by time and space. An encounter possible only in artistic creation. Through this collection, connoisseurs are invited to experience the convergence of high art and impeccable winemaking craftsmanship – an embodiment of French excellence where every sip echoes the aesthetic dialogue between two extraordinary universes.
A super-complex Champagne with chewy tension. Aromas of coffee beans, lemon peel, burnt sugar, chalky minerality, barley candy and tarte tatin. Fine pinprick bubbles with flavors of lemon leaves, aspirin and Mirabelle plums, plus a touch of grapefruit bitterness keeping the tension. Zesty yet integrated chewy acidity and a medium body with a toasted finish.
The 2015 Dom Pérignon is terrific. Bright and poised, the 2015 shows terrific energy. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint, white pepper and slate all race across the palate. There's gorgeous tension and backbone here, with bright saline notes that extend the mid-palate and finish. This is a fine showing in a vintage that has proven to be tricky. I am intrigued to see how the 2015 develops in the coming years.
There's a well-spiced, zesty edge to the flavors of glazed apple, mandarin orange peel, pink grapefruit pith and crème de cassis as they ride the finely detailed mousse of this fresh, focused Champagne. This vivid display is enriched by notes of canelé pastry, chopped almond, pastry cream, smoke and vanilla, all coming to the forefront through the midpalate and chiming on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2035.
Disgorged in January 2023, the 2015 Dom Pérignon shows a singular, ethereal profile with aromas of white pepper, iodine, ripe orchard fruits, toast, smoke, herbs and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered, and structured, it’s enveloping and round with a delicate phenolic mid-palate that underlines chalky dry extracts, concluding with a sapid, penetrating finish with gastronomic bitterness. This iteration of Dom Pérignon, though replete with the customary charm and vinous generosity that typify the label, distinguishes itself by its structural delicate austerity and a notably phenolic profile, giving rise to a remarkably linear and well-defined style that diverges markedly from the more familiar expressions of Dom Pérignon. This is a blend of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay with a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter; it will age wonderfully and can be enjoyed now or over the next 20 years.
