Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018 Damien Hirst Limited Edition

Product Description

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018 Damien Hirst Limited Edition: Brut Champagne in a Work of Art

Dom Pérignon’s End of Year 2026 Limited Edition pairs one of the great Champagne vintages with one of the best-known artists in the world. British artist Damien Hirst reworked the Dom Pérignon shield using his Kaleidoscope series, repeating it in a dense, symmetrical pattern across the bottle and the gift box. The Vintage 2018 wears deep blue and violet, which the house associates with infinity and spirituality. A black collar at the neck is finished with the words “Limited Edition” and Hirst’s signature.

The Champagne is the standard Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018, unchanged. Only the presentation is limited. And it’s a significant vintage: the first Dom Pérignon made entirely under Cellar Master Vincent Chaperon.

Why the Pairing Works

Dom Pérignon has a long tradition of artist collaborations, including Karl Lagerfeld, Jeff Koons, David Lynch, Lenny Kravitz, Takashi Murakami, and Lady Gaga. The house says the Hirst edition is built on assemblage: each Dom Pérignon vintage is a blend of grapes from a single year, and Hirst’s Kaleidoscope works assemble fragments into a unified whole. Hirst said Dom Pérignon was a brand with the kind of loyalty where “someone would get it tattooed onto their body.”

About the Vintage 2018

• Blend: 54% Chardonnay and 46% Pinot Noir. Chardonnay is anchored by Chouilly, and Pinot Noir by Verzenay and Aÿ.
• Strength: 12.5% ABV.
• Year: A warm, dry, solar vintage with an August harvest, producing ripe fruit balanced by freshness.
• Ratings: 99 points from James Suckling, 98 from Antonio Galloni at Vinous, and 96 from Wine Spectator, according to retailers.
• Vintage-only: Dom Pérignon is made only in years the Cellar Master declares exceptional.

Tasting Notes

From critics and retailers; Dom Pérignon’s own notes may differ.

Color: Pale yellow with golden highlights and a fine, persistent mousse.

Nose: Very floral, with jasmine, honeysuckle, lemon, and subtle apple, plus lavender. With air: lemon peel, chalk, mint, and white pepper, and some retailers note golden kiwi, mango, and ripe orchard fruit.

Palate: Medium-bodied and racy, with beautifully integrated bubbles and a touch of fine phenolics.

Finish: Long and lively, with ginger, dried apple, lychee, bitter lemon, and mineral notes.

Food Pairings

Raw oysters and citrus crudo are the classic match. It also goes with white fish, scallops, and caviar, and with lightly spiced dishes, where the wine’s richness and slight bitterness shine. It’s also lovely on its own.

Serving Suggestions

Serve it well chilled, around 46 to 50°F, in a tulip glass or a white wine glass rather than a flute, so the aromatics can open. It will also develop in the bottle for many years, so it’s as good a cellar bottle as a gift.
