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.
99 Points James Suckling
Very floral aromas with jasmine, honeysuckle, lemons and subtle apples. Lavender as well. The medium-bodied palate has super-integrated bubbles, a touch of fine phenolics and a racy, lively finish. Weightless and refined for the vintage. The aftertaste includes ginger, dried apples, lychees, bitter lemons and minerals. 54% chardonnay and 46% pinot noir. Dosage 4.5 g/L.
98 Points Vinous
The 2018 Dom Pérignon is a total stunner. Bright and crystalline in the glass, the 2018 sizzles with mineral-drenched tension. Citrus peel, chalk, white flowers and slate are some of the many nuances that open with a bit of coaxing. The 2018 will need a few years to start hitting its stride, but it is super-impressive in the early going. Stylistically, it reminds me of the 2004 (also a high-yielding vintage) in its slender, lithe build.
96 Points Wine Spectator
There’s a sense of finesse to this understated Champagne, which leads with minerally smoke and chalk accents on the nose before flavors of black cherry, lemon pâte de fruit, brioche, grilled nuts and pickled ginger come to the fore. Structured yet graceful, this expands beautifully on the raw silk–textured mousse, with the profile unfurling through the long, creamy finish. Drink now through 2045.
Winemaker Notes
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.
