With a special edition of the Vintage 2015, Dom Pérignon pays tribute to an artist deeply rooted in his origins, who formed one of the most iconic and powerful artistic expressions of our time: Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Moet & Chandon Description
The complexity found in Basquiat’s work and Dom Pérignon’s wines represents a convergence between the aesthetic ideal of Dom Pérignon and Basquiat’s ars creativa. In both cases, the creative act that gives tangible existence to the aesthetic vision always demonstrates its ability to resolve the apparent paradox of opposites. This collaboration embodies the spirit of innovation, heritage, and renewal, celebrating the meeting of two worlds.
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
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.
Vinous: 96 Points
The 2015 Dom Perignon 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 back bone 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.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
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.
