Dom Pérignon Brut Vintage Jean-Michel Basquiat Limited Edition (Set of 3)
Dom Pérignon celebrates the spirit of artistry and legacy with its Vintage 2015 Special Edition, paying tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat—a visionary artist who transformed cultural landscapes with his powerful work. This exclusive three-pack set offers an immersive experience, with each box and label featuring a distinct section of Basquiat’s seminal painting, In Italian (1983). Displayed together, the coffrets reveal the full artwork, creating a collectible piece that bridges the worlds of fine champagne and modern art. Basquiat’s work mirrors Dom Pérignon’s pursuit of excellence in expression and assemblage, where each vintage becomes a canvas for innovation and tradition. The 2015 release shines with finesse, depth, and tactile elegance, embodying the Maison's commitment to capturing the essence of each harvest year. This is a rare opportunity to experience three individual pieces of an extraordinary masterpiece. The artwork. Created in 1983, ‘In Italian’ is a tumultuous spectacle of fragmented imagery, layered text, and a palette of frenzied colours. The work confronts viewers with themes of race, power, and the human condition, establishing a dialogue that crosses generational and gender boundaries. Basquiat’s propensity for presenting harsh truths within a chaotic structure mirrors the modern experience, making it a universally relatable piece.' - Medium.com The wine. 2015 was a year of exceptional contrasts, this release stands out with its soothing strength and striking tactile presence during tasting. Experience a complex aromatic flavour profile combining intense roasted and cocoa notes, balanced by delicate floral aromas of lime blossom, jasmine and peony. Notes of peach, nectarine, citrus and gentian create a harmonious blend, giving the wine a rich texture and a diverse aromatic palate. This is a blend of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay with a dosage of 4.5 grams per litre; it will age wonderfully and can be enjoyed now or over the next 20 years. Maker: In 1668, Dom Pierre Pérignon was appointed procurator at the Abbey of Hautvillers. For 47 years, he worked to make the “best wine in the world”. Three centuries later, the Maison Dom Pérignon perpetuates this creative ambition through the constantly renewed quest for harmony as a source of emotion. All creative processes have their constraints. Dom Pérignon’s constraint is the vintage: an ambition to bear witness to the harvest of a single year, whatever the challenges may be, even if it means choosing not to declare the vintage. Dom Pérignon is always an assemblage, forming the foundation of the Dom Pérignon style. It is guided by timeless principles that have always taken precedence over winemaking techniques and their evolution. Time is also part of the equation for Dom Pérignon. During the time of active maturation on the lees, in the darkness of the cellars, the aesthetic and sensory values of each vintage are played out: precision, intensity, touch, minerality, and complexity. Dom Pierre Pérignon's legacy has often been misconceived, overshadowed by myths of inventing Champagne, and even unfounded rumours of blindness. However, what remains true beyond doubt is his extraordinary hard work and dedication to crafting the finest wine in the world. His innovations were groundbreaking. He developed the gentle 'coquard' press, which enabled him to produce clear, still white wine from black grapes. Pérignon also understood the unique challenges of Champagne's marginal climate, pioneering the art of blending grapes from different vineyards to create a more complete and balanced wine. His use of stronger verre anglais ('English glass') bottles, designed to withstand pressure, and the reintroduction of cork as a reliable closure were crucial advancements in winemaking. Through his tireless efforts, Pérignon laid the groundwork for the Champagne and the modern wine world. Jean-Michel Basquiat A creative force of the 1980s New York art scene, Jean-Michel Basquiat broke boundaries with his compelling, raw style that fused vibrant colors, symbolic motifs, and potent social commentary. Basquiat’s artwork speaks to themes of identity, power, and resilience, inviting audiences to explore a vivid blend of personal and cultural reflection. His crown motif—a prominent feature in this collaboration with Dom Pérignon—embodies a reclaiming of identity and self-expression, making it a fitting symbol for this special edition, which merges Basquiat’s artistic legacy with Dom Pérignon’s storied heritage. Nose Spicy, Refreshing, Complex On the first approach, vibrant aromas of apricot, floral honey, and creamy fudge unfold into deeper notes of clove and freshly baked croissant. Hints of pear drop, blood orange, and vanilla enrich the bouquet with layers of complexity. Palate Lush, Layered, Balanced The palate opens with lush flavours of tropical fruits and toasted oak, balanced by warm baking spices. Toffee apple and lime sorbet add a refreshing lift, harmonising with subtle mineral undertones for an exquisitely balanced profile. Finish Long, Floral, Elegant The finish is luxuriously long, with lingering vanilla cream, floral nuances, and a touch of exotic spice, leaving a final impression of elegance and freshness. The 2015 Dom Pérignon is terrific. Bright and poised, the 2015 shows terrific energy. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint, white pepper and slate all race across the palate. There's gorgeous tension and backbone here, with bright saline notes that extend the mid-palate and finish. This is a fine showing in a vintage that has proven to be tricky. I am intrigued to see how the 2015 develops in the coming years. 2025-2045. - Antonio Galloni (03/2024), Vinous, 96 Points. Disgorged in January 2023, the 2015 Dom Pérignon shows a singular, ethereal profile with aromas of white pepper, iodine, ripe orchard fruits, toast, smoke, herbs and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered, and structured, it’s enveloping and round with a delicate phenolic mid-palate that underlines chalky dry extracts, concluding with a sapid, penetrating finish with gastronomic bitterness. This iteration of Dom Pérignon, though replete with the customary charm and vinous generosity that typify the label, distinguishes itself by its structural delicate austerity and a notably phenolic profile, giving rise to a remarkably linear and well-defined style that diverges markedly from the more familiar expressions of Dom Pérignon. - Yohan Castaing (05/2024), Wine Advocate, 95 Points. Remarkably pale at this early stage in the glass, the nose hits Dom Pérignon's classic gunsmoke and flint notes together with sweet and bright citrus. Packed with silky ripe fruits on both nose and palate, this is approachable now. Notes of fresh mint and fresh bread dough add to the layers on the palate, which has a creamy mousse but well-defined and vibrant acidity. Chalky in texture on the finish, this is ready to drink but will doubtless evolve well in bottle for over a decade. - Thomas Parker MW (07/2024), 94 Points.
Bollinger Special Cuvée Brut Non-Vintage Twin Pack
Product Description: Great things come in twos, introducing the Bollinger Special Cuvée Brut NV Twin Pack. For life's special moments, this exquisite champagne duo promises an unforgettable experience no matter the occasion. As for the champagne... Bollinger Special Cuvée is the label of choice for spoiling loved ones who enjoy the finer things in life. For over a century, connoisseurs have returned to Bollinger Special Cuvée for its subtlety, consistency, and the glamour it brings to everyday occasions. This release is a delicate mix of 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Meunier with over 85% Grands and Premiers crus. Special Cuvée is cellar-aged for double the length required by appellation regulations. It’s equally delectable when enjoyed on its own, mixed into a mimosa or paired with seafood, full-bodied cheeses or richer meats like venison or beef. Did you know in 1911, Georges Bollinger’s British agent suggested swapping the original name which was “brut sans année” for the English word “special” to better convey this Champagne’s outstanding qualities - and a star was born. Bollinger Special Cuvée is the brand’s raison d’être! The Maker: For almost two hundred years, Champagne Bollinger has been making powerful, refined and complex wines that express the aromas of fruit in all its dimensions. In 1829, Athanase de Villermont’s vast estate just outside the town of Äy provided the backdrop for the founding of an extraordinary Champagne house - but as an aristocrat, Athanese was forbidden from engaging in commercial trade. With the recruitment of Joseph “Jacques” Bollinger, a Champagne merchant, and Paul Renaudin, a Champernois fascinated by the world of wine, the Bollinger legacy began. The Bollinger style is inimitable and recognised as such by great connoisseurs. It possesses a dense and subtle presence: a balance of the intensity of great Pinot Noirs and the freshness of Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs. The house’s offerings are rooted in 5 tangible principles: the vineyards; Pinot Noir; magnums of reserve wines; the barrels, and time. Bollinger wines release a creamy effervescence resulting from vinifying in oak barrels and prolonged contact with the yeasts. Every tasting yields new delights that are guaranteed to transport you. The Vineyard: Bollinger has built its vineyards at the heart of the finest crus in Champagne. 180 hectares of vines are made up of 85% Grand and Premier crus and are farmed by our teams of growers across 7 separate vineyards: Aÿ, Avenay, Tauxières, Louvois and Verzenay for Pinot Noir; the Montagne de Reims, Cuis for Chardonnay; and the Côte des Blancs and Champvoisy for Meunier. Another of Bollinger’s distinctive features are the two plots of Clos Saint-Jacques and Chaudes Terres. There, ungrafted vines are entirely tended by hand and reproduced using a form of layering called provignage, preserving the extraordinary heritage from which the Vieilles Vignes Françaises cuvée is produced. Pinot Noir is the varietal on which Bollinger has staked its reputation. A demanding grape that requires care at every step, it remains front and centre because of the incomparable finesse it brings to a wine. Today, the Pinot Noir planted around the Montagne de Reims represents over 60% of the Bollinger vineyards. This also just happens to be the exact proportion it occupies in Special Cuvée! Multi-faceted and surprising, its unusually high ratio in the blends is a signature of the Bollinger style, to which it lends power, body and vinosity. It has been one of the founding principles of Champagne Bollinger’s identity from the very beginning. Bollinger is guided by a responsibility anchored in time and a commitment to people, the earth and our roots. It is committed to the well-being of its teams, preserving biodiversity, and reducing the brand’s carbon footprint. NOSE - Powerful, complex, red fruits The beauty of ripe fruit and spicy aromas; hints of roasted apples, compote and peaches. PALATE - Lush, enveloping, creamy A subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity; bubbles like velvet; pear, brioche and spicy aromas, notes of fresh walnut. FINISH - Dry, mineral, petrichor Mellow and refreshing, punctuated by a crisp bite derived from its Chardonnay component. Reviews + Accolades: 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Meunier sourced from more than 300 crus, including 85% grands and premiers crus; 15% fermented in old oak barrels. The complexity and richness of Special Cuvée is unparalleled among the entry non-vintage blends of every Champagne house, short of ascending to the mesosphere of Krug. Its grand recipe explains why, built on incredible depth of 50%-60% reserves. Triumphant complexity is a given at Bollinger, but it’s the dynamic freshness and vitality that really set it apart as one of the most affordable Champagne benchmarks. - Decanter, 96 Points. Lovely density and a fine-bubble texture. Dried apple and apricot with hints of dried flowers. Medium to full body. with medium-rich fruit. Spice, zest and ginger character. Usually 10% in barrel. 60% pinot noir, 25% chardonnay and 15% pinot meunier. About 40% reserve wine kept in magnums. Always really well done. - James Suckling, 93 Points.

Long and lively on the creamy finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. - Wine Spectator, 93 Points. “... this iconic non-vintage cuvée is dominated by Pinot Noir that gives impressive richness as well as ripe stone fruits.

Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut Non-Vintage + Champagne Flutes
Product Information: Experience the finesse of Laurent-Perrier’s La Cuvée Brut NV, a Champagne defined by elegance and freshness, achieved through an extended ageing process in cellars. This delicate and refined wine opens with floral aromas, hints of brioche, and sweet orchard fruits. On the palate, it’s richly textured yet airy, with inviting flavours that linger in harmony. A subtle layer of talc-like minerality adds sophistication and lifts the fresh, clean finish. Composed of 50%+ Chardonnay, 30-35% Pinot Noir, and 10-15% Meunier, La Cuvée is enhanced by 15-30% reserve wines sourced from over 100 crus. The predominant Chardonnay brings finesse, while the four-year ageing period deepens its complexity, resulting in an exquisite balance of freshness and buttery richness. This exceptional Champagne is accompanied by two beautifully crafted flutes, all presented in a luxurious white and gold gift box. An ideal ensemble for sharing memorable moments or gifting to someone special, Laurent-Perrier delivers a refined experience with unmatched value. Maker: Founded in 1812 by André-Michel Pierlot, Laurent-Perrier has a storied history rooted in the Grand Cru village of Tours-sur-Marne. Following Pierlot’s legacy, the House was eventually passed to Eugène Laurent and later his widow, Mathilde-Emilie Perrier, who established Laurent-Perrier as a leader in fine Champagne with her “Grand Vin Sans Sucre.” In 1939, Marie-Louise de Nonancourt acquired the estate, and her son, Bernard, revolutionised the House post-war, transforming it into a global icon synonymous with freshness and elegance. Today, Laurent-Perrier remains family-owned, with Bernard’s daughters and Michel Fauconnet, Cellar Master since 2004, continuing the commitment to quality and independence. The arrival of Lucie Pereyre de Nonancourt in 2019 further reinforces the House’s innovative spirit and dedication to excellence. Philosophy: Laurent-Perrier’s hallmark style revolves around finesse and purity, led by a focus on Chardonnay, which represents 55% of the blend in La Cuvée. By blending traditional practices with innovative techniques, the House creates unique wines that tell their own story. A key to their process is the use of stainless steel vats, allowing low-temperature fermentation to preserve freshness and aromatic complexity. Every batch is vinified separately, giving the Cellar Master the flexibility to blend only the finest grapes from esteemed vineyards, including 17 Grands Crus and 42 Premiers Crus. Their meticulous approach extends to a lengthy ageing period, ensuring that each cuvée is perfectly ready for enjoyment. Pioneers in low-dosage Champagnes, Laurent-Perrier introduced their “Grand Vin Sans Sucre” in 1889 and Ultra Brut in 1981. Today, they continue this legacy with creations like Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature, bridging tradition and innovation in every glass. Nose - Cooked Apples, Peaches, Light Butter Biscuits The nose is very pretty and elegant, with floral aromas of brioche and sweet orchard fruits. Palate - Fresh Apricot, Pillowy, Buttery Pastry Fresh with apricot, it is expressive of its lovely Chardonnay character. The palate is soft and approachable, and in line with the nose.

Lots of flavor and polished textured bubbles. The base in the current release is 2016 vintage. 50% chardonnay, 35% pinot noir and 15% pinot meunier.

The nose is very pretty and elegant, with floral aromas of brioche and sweet orchard fruits. Fresh with apricot, it is expressive of its lovely Chardonnay character.

Named in honour of founding father Nicolas Francois, this fabulous wine is the finest expression of the House Style. A pale golden colour with a lively, fine bead. The nose shows very ripe fruit, floral notes and hints of warm brioche. The palate is fine, elegant and rich with wonderful balance and length.

Louis Roederer et Philippe Starck Brut Nature
Conceived as an exchange and shaped by friendship, this wine is first and foremost a result of the free-thinking that came out of a meeting between Louis Roederer’s CEO Frédéric Rouzaud, his cellar master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon and the designer Philippe Starck. Their conversations led to the creation of the very first Brut Nature in 2006 and the relationship continued to grow over the years to give us the 2009 and 2012 vintages. The Brut Nature was born from an idea of the dreamed-for, perfect champagne. It is a wine that captures the freshness of the clay soils in a sunny year, a wine of truth, the testimony to an encounter, a soil, a year, free spirits and the independent spirit that runs through the Champagne House. It is a champagne that perfectly encapsulates this new exploration of a Louis Roederer terroir. The Louis Roederer et Philippe Starck Brut Nature 2015 has a yellow hue with shimmering highlights and an even flow of lively bubbles. The bouquet is pure, elegant, vertical, rich and concentrated. Nuances of ripe fruit combined with exceptional finesse: fine, delicate citrus peel and vanilla along with warmer notes of baked apple and Tarte Tatin that gradually give way to aromas of nougat. The palate offers a marked and singular contrast: it is very expressionist thanks to the broad, juicy, almost sensual texture of the clay soils in a sunny year, yet distinctly minimalist due to a fresh, pure, mineral and mouth watering backbone associated with its zero dosage. Ripe citrus fruit combines with warm stone notes further accentuating the mouth watering, umami sensation. The finish is light, energetic and ethereal.
Pommery Millesime Vintage
The hallmark of this Champagne has always been elegance and extreme purity of fruit. Still extremely youthful, the chardonnay component gives lovely white floral aromas and tropical citrus flavours. The lingering persistent finish showing toast, grilled almonds and French pastry, Very stylish indeed.
