    Overview

    Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 Special Edition - Tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat - Blue


    Dom Pérignon celebrates the art of assembling through a special edition of Vintage 2015 in tribute to the late artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. A singular limited edition collection of three bottles pairing with giftboxes recomposing Basquiat's renowned "In Italian" painting.

    Explore Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015, featuring refined notes of roasted cocoa, lime blossom, jasmine, and peony, subtly accented with aniseed and cardamom. This champagne harmonizes the crispness of orange and green papaya with a soft, full-bodied palate rich in peach, nectarine, and citrus flavours.

    Basquiat, who died in 1988, was known for his neo-expressionist style, and now, with the co-operation of his estate, Dom Pérignon has released bottles which draw inspiration from the artist's 1983 work In Italian.

    Now housed in the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, the work shows Basquiat's background as a graffiti artist, with scrawled slogans across the canvas.

    Dom Pérignon has represented the work through a series of three coffrets, or gift boxes, which, when brought together, display In Italian in its entirety. "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," it continued, "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."

    As for the actual bottles, each label features Basquiat's signature three-pointed crown, in yellow, blue or green, atop the Dom Pérignon shield. According to Dom Pérignon, the shield represents the house's protection of its ideals, and Basquiat's crown signifies power.

    Tasting Notes:
    In the darkness of the cellars, inside the bottles, each Vintage goes through a slow transformation in contact with the yeast. It takes no fewer than eight years of elaboration to reach a harmonious dialogue between the character of the year and the signature of Dom Pérignon. The champagne showcases a perfect equilibrium, and all the elements are present with great relevance, revealing the harmony. It is a promise, an invitation to enter the world of Dom Pérignon.

    Born of a year of exceptional contrasts, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 stands out with its soothing strength and striking tactile presence during tasting. Initially dark and enigmatic, this vintage wine reveals a texture that leaves an incomparable impression, offering a unique sensory experience.

    The structure of Dom Pérignon 2015 feels horizontal, broad and straight, reflecting the wine's luminous austerity. Each mouthful covers the palate, making an impression with clear, clean flavours, drawn in straight lines rather than curves. This structured concept is Dom Pérignon's authentic signature, in which the sense of touch becomes fundamental. Without this tactile dimension, the flavour of the wine could not fully unfold in the space and time of its tasting, mirroring the space and time of its production.

    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.

    2015: Generosity And Balance
    The 2015 winegrowing year was marked by striking contrasts in climate, starting with a particularly cold spring, followed by a prolonged period of hot, dry weather that lasted until the end of August. When the harvest began on 7 September, in brilliant sunshine, the vines were impeccably healthy, revealing the exceptional generosity and balance of the grapes. This vintage aromatic wine promises a remarkable aromatic richness, capturing the unique essence of the year.

    Food & Wine Pairing:
    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.
