"For Dom Pérignon and Damien Hirst, assemblage lies at the heart of creation. The 2026 Limited Edition brings this shared vision to life, rooted in a common language of tension and balance – between heritage and reinvention, structure and freedom, mastery and experimentation. For Dom Pérignon, each vintage is shaped through the interplay of a single year’s grapes, while for Damien Hirst, the kaleidoscope motif emerges through the precise composition of selected and calibrated elements. In champagne as in art, beauty is born of complexity, as contrasting fragments are brought together to form a singular, harmonious whole.

"Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018 moves like summer light—radiant, majestic, and serene. It reveals itself through a rich and deep transparency, with breadth, depth, matter, and density, with the sense that everything is in its rightful place. There is harmony in its unfolding, a glorious generosity carried with poise and a feeling of plenitude. Broader, deeper, longer—it leaves the impression of a perfect summer’s afternoon, with an openness that continues to expand over time." —winemaker
