Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 Giftbox

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 stands out for its complex aromatic flavour profile combining intense roasted and cocoa notes, balanced by delicate floral aromas of lime blossom, jasmine and peony. Elevated by a bouquet of spices such as aniseed and cardamom, Dom Pérignon 2015 also offers a fruity, botanical freshness, with subtle hints of orange and green papaya. This blend of flavours creates the perfect taste harmony for lovers of fine wine.

The 2015 vintage wine is characterised by its breadth and delicacy, offering a unique sensory experience. Notes of peach, nectarine, citrus and gentian create a harmonious blend, giving the wine a rich texture and a diverse aromatic palate. This rich, well-balanced cuvée captures the essence of the exceptional terroirs from which it comes, promising a memorable wine tasting experience.

For this tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat, Dom Pérignon chose a work by the artist that is as meaningful as it is enigmatic, "In Italian" (1983).
Although the meaning of the work "In Italian" remains a mystery, it carries an emotional intensity that is not unrelated to the resonance between Basquiat’s vision and that of Dom Pérignon.
In Basquiat’s work, as in Dom Pérignon’s vision, the assemblage is a key element for the intensity of the aesthetic experience.

For the painting "In Italian", the assemblage of materials and the successive pictorial interventions that hide each other until what was originally painted becomes indecipherable, opens the way to potentially infinite layers of meaning and multiple emotional configurations for the observer. As for Dom Pérignon, the tension between the different characteristics of the original wines creates an extraordinarily rich alliance of meanings, without ever erasing the trace of the original matter.
This art of assemblage is reflected in the special edition, with three unique coffrets, each showcasing parts of Basquiat's masterpiece as a tribute to this creative process.

For this Special Edition, the resonance between Dom Pérignon and the universe of Jean-Michel Basquiat is symbolized by a graphic and conceptual tête-à-tête that superimposes the shield, emblem of the Maison, and the three-branched crown, statement, and signature of the New York artist.
The Dom Pérignon shield testifies both to the attachment to the original territory of Hautvillers and to the unyielding ambition of Dom Pérignon to assert its uniqueness. An icon of Basquiat’s work, the crown is a symbol of power. Basquiat uses the crown to elevate the subjects of this paintings, but also to comment on power dynamics presented in his work.

Much more than two simple symbols, this visual creation embodies the meeting between two stories and two identities.

Dom Pérignon’s tribute to Jean-Michel Basquat takes the form of a special edition of 2015 Vintage coffrets.

The design of these coffret was imagined according to the principle of assemblage, dear to both Dom Pérignon and Basquiat as previously mentioned. The series includes three different boxes, each depicting a part of Basquiat’s painting, which can be reassembled by bringing the coffrets together. A true seal to this tribute, the label on the bottles, also created in three color variants, bears the hybrid emblem of the three-branched crown superimposed on the shield.

The treatment of the shield-emblem on the box and the bottle creates an interaction between the exterior and the interior that makes the unveiling of the Vintage 2015 even more special.
On the outside, Dom Pérignon takes the lead. The label remains intact, simply enhanced by the three-branched crown superimposed along the crest of the shield-emblem. Inside, on the bottle, the aesthetics of the painting dominates, and the label is entirely overrun by the brilliant camaïeu of its colors and the painted crown, giving free rein to emotion and announcing the intensity of the tasting.

When it comes to wine pairing, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 expresses its distinctive character particularly well with choice seafood such as caviar, king crab and langoustine. The wine’s aromatic profile also pairs perfectly with meats with tangy notes, such as pork, lamb or duck. Exotic touches of kiwi and guava, along with green curry spices, accentuate the stimulating complexity of this vintage, offering a rich and soothing wine tasting experience
