Dom Pérignon 2010 in the Lady Gaga limited-edition label. It is a Chardonnay-led, fruit-forward vintage from a year the house had to fight for, and it drinks well already.
About This Champagne
2010 opened with the coldest winter since 1996. Summer was warm until mid-August, when around two months of rain fell in two days and rot set into Pinot Noir. The team mapped their plots, set aside about a fifth of the Pinot, and focused on clean fruit. The result leans unusually towards Chardonnay at 54%, with 46% Pinot Noir. The first release was disgorged in February 2019 with a dosage of about 5 g/L.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Green mango, melon and pineapple, then mandarin peel, peony and a touch of fresh bread.
- Palate: Full and generous, firm through the middle, with a peppery, spicy lift.
- Finish: Saline and energetic, with a long, stony close.
Serving & Food
Start it cold, around 8°C, and let it warm a little in a white wine glass. Enjoy now or over the next several years. The tropical fruit works well with Thai crab salad, prawn and pomelo, or chicken satay.
How to Enjoy
A playful gift for a pop fan who also loves Champagne, or a lively aperitif bottle.

About the Maison
Every Dom Pérignon is a one-year blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, released only after long ageing in the cellars at Épernay. The brand, named for the monk Dom Pierre Pérignon, has sat within Moët & Chandon since its first 1921 vintage.
The Lady Gaga edition grew out of Queendom, a campaign launched in spring 2021 with a short film by Nick Knight. Her label and box for the Vintage 2010 carry an iridescent sheen, a matching edition was made for the Rosé 2006, and the bottles reached shops that autumn.
