Dom Perignon x Takashi Murakami Special Edition 2015

Dom Pérignon has invited Takashi Murakami to design two limited editions imagined for the 2025 year-end season: one for Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 and one for the launch of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010. This artistic encounter perpetuates the Maison’s creative dialogue with visionary artists and reaffirms its commitment to artistic exploration, hybridity, and unclassifiable paths.

For both Dom Pérignon and Takashi Murakami, nature is a vital principle. The 2025 limited editions bring their visions together: in Dom Pérignon’s creative philosophy, nature is the starting point and the medium: grapes, terroir, climate, human precision, everything is orchestrated to translate raw matter into emotion. In Murakami’s approach, nature does not take the shape of realistic flora or fauna. Instead, it manifests as a hyper-synthetic, emotionally charged world made of flowers with oversized cartoon faces, creatures that seem to emerge from dreams, myths, or anime.

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.

96 Points - Vinous

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.

95 Points - Wine Spectator

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.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

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.
