    Overview

    Dom Pérignon x Damien Hirst Vintage 2018


    Introduction:
    The result of an artistic collaboration between Dom Pérignon and Damien Hirst, this 2026 Limited Edition draws on the artist's Kaleidoscope series and reinterprets the Maison's historic shield as a contemporary emblem.

    Rendered in a deep blue, symbolic of infinity and spirituality, it reflects the solar amplitude of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018, while expressing the dynamic tension between tradition and transformation.

    A Common Language of Assemblage
    For Dom Pérignon and Damien Hirst, assemblage lies at the heart of creation. The 2026 limited edition brings this shared vision to life, rooted in a common language of tension and balance-between heritage and reinvention, structure and freedom, mastery and experimentation. For Dom Pérignon, each vintage is shaped through the dialogue of a single year's grapes, while for Damien Hirst, the kaleidoscope motif emerges through the precise composition of selected and calibrated elements. In both champagne and art, beauty is born from complexity, as contrasting fragments are brought together to form a singular, harmonious whole.

    Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018: A wave of light
    Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018 moves like summer light - radiant, majestic and serene. It reveals itself through a rich and deep transparency, with breadth, depth, matter and density, with the sense that everything is in its rightful place. There is harmony in its unfolding, a glorious generosity carried with poise and a feeling of plenitude.

    Broader, deeper, longer - it leaves the impression of a perfect summer's afternoon, with an openness that continues to expand over time.

    Vintage 2018:
    Step into a world of radiance and precision with Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018. This exceptional release, and Vincent Chaperon's first creation as Cellar Master, is born of a year of extraordinary generosity and sunshine, setting new norms for the Maison and delivering a wine of remarkable ripeness, balance and refinement.

    The Blend: Harmony in Balance
    • 54% Chardonnay | 46% Pinot Noir

    In 2018, both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir reached record ripeness under ideal climatic conditions. As in 2017, the Maison's approach was to push Chardonnay maturities further while exercising restraint to preserve balance in Pinot Noir. The result is a wine that is radiant, ample and precise, with Dom Pérignon's signature tension carried through a richer, deeper expression.

    Tasting Notes:
    Vintage 2018 is radiant and glowing. It opens with an extremely rare apricot imprint, followed by orchard fruits and tropical notes of yellow kiwi and mango, layered with ivy and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it is ample and dense, with an unctuous, sapid texture and a lively tension where bitters and sweetness interact beautifully.

    The Year:
    A Harvest of Light. The year 2018 was defined by an ideal, generous, and easy-going climate. The sun was omnipresent, while summer heat exceeded the records of 2003, leading to exceptional grape quality across both key varietals. Harvest began early, on 17th August, marking only the fifth August harvest in the Maison's history. From every point of view, 2018 stands out as a vintage of abundance, maturity and new possibilities.

    The Story:
    From 1668 and for 47 years in The Abbey Of Hautvillers, breaking all the rules and constraints, Dom Pierre Pérignon pushed the art of creation to a level of perfection never reached before in Champagne. 

    Three centuries later, Dom Pérignon pursues this quest for perfection with its commitment to only create vintages and choose the best grapes from any of the 17 Grands Crus, including the legendary Premier Cru, Hautvillers.

    Dom Pérignon's commitment to vintage is absolute. Every vintage is made only with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. 

    The wine expresses itself distinctly in three different maturation time periods called "Plénitudes".
    - The first Plénitude (8 to 9 years of creation) reveals the harmony.
    - The second Plénitude (15 to 20 years of creation, Dom Pérignon P2) is the Second life of Dom Pérignon

    Each vintage is the result of a perfect balance between the signature of Dom Pérignon and the singularity of the year.
