Vintage 2018 meets Damien Hirst's visual language in the 2026 Limited Edition. The bottle and gift box reinterpret the Dom Pérignon shield through a deep-blue kaleidoscopic motif, bringing Champagne and contemporary art into a distinctive presentation.

The artistic collaboration

Inspired by Hirst's Kaleidoscope series, the design repeats and rearranges the House's shield into a symmetrical composition. It gives Vintage 2018 an artist-designed presentation, with collectible appeal rooted in the collaboration.

The character of 2018

In Champagne, 2018 brought abundant sunshine, high temperatures and exceptionally favourable ripening. The blend of 54% Chardonnay and 46% Pinot Noir channels that richness into a balance of breadth, energy and clarity.

The Dom Pérignon signature

The House makes only vintage Champagne, each wine expressing the harvest of a single year. Secondary fermentation in bottle and extended maturation on the lees are central to its pursuit of harmony. In Vintage 2018, they contribute to a generous, creamy texture supported by a precise, lively finish.

Tasting and pairing

Ripe yellow-fleshed fruit, tropical nuances, citrus peel and floral accents shape the bouquet. On the palate, richness is balanced by freshness, a delicate saline edge and a long, composed finish. This vintage received 98 points from Falstaff in 2026.

Pair it with shellfish, substantial white fish or carefully prepared seafood dishes; delicate poultry is another fine choice. With its presentation box, it makes a considered gift and an appealing bottle for anyone interested in following the next chapter of this Champagne House over time.
