Dom Perignon x Damien Hirst Limited Edition Champagne Brut 2018 & Dom Perignon Brut 2017 w/Gift Box Bundle
A remarkable side-by-side celebration of two distinctive Dom Pérignon vintages, this 2018 & 2017 Bundle brings together the first vintage crafted entirely under Vincent Chaperon's direction and the preceding 2017 vintage, which marked the transition from Richard Geoffroy to Chaperon. The 2018 expresses the generosity and fullness of its vintage, while the 2017 is defined by contrast, minerality and tension. Presented together, the two bottles offer an engaging opportunity to explore how different growing seasons shape the character of Dom Pérignon.
Dom Perignon x Damien Hirst Limited Edition Brut 2018: Floral and luminous, with jasmine, honeysuckle, lemon, subtle apple and lavender, followed by a lively palate with fine phenolics, integrated bubbles and a long mineral finish.
Dom Pérignon 2017: Expressive and complex, with petrichor, jasmine and candied citrus, followed by a palate balancing bitterness, acidity, sweetness and tension, with a long mineral finish.
