The 2008 Dom Pérignon in magnum, dressed in the limited edition designed by musician Lenny Kravitz and packed with candles. The wine inside is the regular 2008 cuvée, 50/50 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
About This Champagne
2008 was a cool, cloudy year picked late in September, and its acidity was so bright that the house held the wine back and released the 2009 first. The 2008 is split evenly between the two grapes and spent close to nine years on its lees before disgorgement, then more than a year resting on cork. In magnum it should age slowly, keeping its energy for many years.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Lemon, white flowers and chalk, with a curl of smoke and some brioche behind.
- Palate: Tense and finely built, with ripe stone fruit, bright acidity and a deep savoury middle.
- Finish: Mineral and long, with toast lingering after the citrus fades.
Serving & Food
Serve at 9 to 10°C, lit by the candles if you like, in tulip glasses. Enough for ten to twelve pours. Lovely with a platter of langoustines and oysters, crispy suckling pig, or truffled roast chicken.
How to Enjoy
A statement bottle for a large celebration, or a keepsake for fans of Kravitz and Dom Pérignon artist editions.

About the Maison
Dom Pérignon has long invited artists to reinterpret its bottle, with past editions by names such as David Lynch, Jeff Koons and Karl Lagerfeld. In 2019 it turned to Lenny Kravitz, who also runs his own design studio. His take on the 2008 borrows from goldsmithing, with hammered metal worked across the famous shield on the label, and the edition was first launched in Paris in November 2019.
The wine is made by Moët & Chandon in Épernay, always from one harvest and always from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with Vincent Chaperon now cellar master.
