A striking collaboration between Dom Pérignon and contemporary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, whose bold, anime-inspired style has reshaped the boundaries between fine art and popular culture. Born in Tokyo in 1962, Murakami is celebrated for his vibrant motifs—smiling flowers, mushrooms, and iconic characters—blending traditional Japanese techniques with cutting-edge media. Often called the “new Andy Warhol,” he brings his signature superflat aesthetic to this limited-edition bottle, making it not just a champagne, but a collectible work of art.

To be released commercially in 2026. Blend of 44% Chardonnay and 56% Pinot Noir in total (including 11% red wine). (In the mid 1990s it was 15–18% then in the mid 2000s, as a result of the focus Richard Geoffroy was putting on Dom P rosé, it reached 28% but has been reduced since then.) They invested in a new winery in 2006–2008 with very small vats and burgundy-style pigeage for the reds. They started a programme to re-select red wines for Dom P and the wine now comes from 30 or so hectares in Hautvillers, Aÿ and Bouzy. They've been busy identifying the best plots, best clones and best raw material so this 2010 is the result of long research.
Stunning. So rich and complex on the nose! With almonds, burgundy flavours and strong Pinot Noir character on the nose. Really exciting! No shortage of structure. It seems so rich that it kids you there is some sweetness but the dosage was less than 5 g/l. Food wine. Should be great with tonight's langoustines! Long and savoury on the end. If grand cru rosé burgundy existed, this is what it would taste like.
