This special edition pays tribute to the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose influence on contemporary art is indisputable. The bottle label is decorated with emblematic works by the artist, creating a unique fusion between art and the excellence of champagne. This collaboration reflects the avant-garde spirit of Dom Pérignon, celebrating Basquiat's creative energy. The winemaking of Dom Pérignon 2015 follows a traditional method, paying attention to each phase. After manual harvesting, the bunches are gently pressed to extract the purest aromas. Fermentation takes place at low temperature, preserving the fineness of the aromas and the freshness of the wine. Champagne is dosed in brut to maintain balance and structure, benefiting from prolonged aging in Dom Pérignon's cellars, which leads to its perfect maturity. This patience in processing is critical to the aromatic richness and depth of Vintage 2015.
The Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 features a golden color with bright reflections and fine, persistent bubbles, a sign of its elegance and maturity. On the nose, it is complex and intense, revealing aromas of exotic fruits, white flowers and a subtle mineral note. Notes of toast and spices add further depth to this cuvée. In the mouth, the attack is fresh and wide, with a perfectly balanced structure. The flavors of ripe fruits and citrus intertwine with notes of hazelnut and a hint of spice on the finish. The persistence is remarkable, leaving an impression of finesse and power.
It pairs perfectly with refined dishes such as dill salmon tartare and ginger tuna sashimi. It is also ideal with caviar and sour cream blinis, as well as grilled lobster with lemon butter. For meat dishes, veal fillet with porcini mushrooms and risotto with truffles are excellent choices. Finally, it closes sweetly paired with an exotic fruit cake, a lemon soufflé and raspberry macaron.
To fully appreciate it, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature between 8 and 10°C.
