"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

"Very floral aromas with jasmine, honeysuckle, lemons and subtle apples. Lavender as well. The medium-bodied palate has super-integrated bubbles, a touch of fine phenolics and a racy, lively finish. Weightless and refined for the vintage. The aftertaste includes ginger, dried apples, lychees, bitter lemons and minerals. 54% chardonnay and 46% pinot noir. Dosage 4.5 g/L. Mid-2026 release. A new style for Dom Perignon? Drink now." —James Suckling
"The 2018 Dom Pérignon is explosive, bright and so vibrant in the glass. Medium in body, with layers of understated depth, the 2018 dazzles from start to finish. Lemon peel, chalk, mint and white pepper all open with a bit of coaxing. Readers will find a Dom Pérignon of unreal precision and class." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous
"There’s a sense of finesse to this understated Champagne, which leads with minerally smoke and chalk accents on the nose before flavors of black cherry, lemon pâte de fruit, brioche, grilled nuts and pickled ginger come to the fore. Structured yet graceful, this expands beautifully on the raw silk–textured mousse, with the profile unfurling through the long, creamy finish. Drink now through 2045." —Wine Spectator
