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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhy the Pairing Works\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDom 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.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAbout the Vintage 2018\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54% Chardonnay and 46% Pinot Noir.
