Dom Pérignon, the renowned champagne house, has embarked on a unique project with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, creating two limited-edition bottles that combine contemporary aesthetics and winemaking tradition. This initiative is part of the brand's longstanding tradition of collaborating with creative talents to transform wine into an objet d'art.
The two versions presented are the Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 and the Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010, each reinterpreted through Murakami's visual vision. The bottles are not simple containers, but rather three-dimensional canvases on which the artist's distinctive motifs unfold: stylized flowers, vibrant colors, and the unmistakable "superflat" aesthetic that has made Murakami internationally renowned.
From a sensorial point of view, the Vintage 2015 version is characterized by fresh and fruity notes, with accents of peach, citrus and green papaya, balanced by a soft and harmonious palate. The variant Rose 2010, instead, expresses a more intense character: dense, refined, with a balance that blends power and delicacy.
On the Italian market these limited editions were available, for example, at Rinascente, at indicative prices respectively around €270 for the 2015 and €500 for the 2010 Rosé. On specialized channels it is still possible to find some stocks of the Rosé in a box set with an estimated price around €500.
The choice to involve Murakami is no coincidence: the Maison has long engaged in artistic dialogue with leading figures to redefine the concept of luxury and the brand's identity. This creative philosophy also includes collaborations with other contemporary names, such as those promoted by Dom Pérignon on previous occasions.
Ultimately, this initiative represents a fusion of seemingly distant worlds: contemporary art and champagne culture. Connoisseurs will find not only an excellent wine, but a collectible design piece, destined to excite both wine enthusiasts and visual art lovers.
