The newly arrived, limited-edition Dom Pérignon x Damien Hirst collab is your first chance to get hold of their 2018 vintage, which Wine Spectator describes as a ‘dream year’. Inspired by Hirst’s iconic Kaleidoscope series, the collaboration reinterprets the Dom Pérignon shield through intricate, dynamic patterns, creating a striking dialogue between art, craftsmanship and winemaking. In this wine, you’ll find ‘unreal precision and class’ (Vinous).
Dom Pérignon called the 2018 vintage a gift of nature, and it was their earliest harvest to date! Summer had ample sunshine and warmth and there was enough water in the soils to ensure near-perfect flowering. The subsequent wine, a blend of 54% Chardonnay and 46% Pinot Noir, is extraordinary.
Damien Hirst is one of the world’s most influential contemporary artists, renowned for challenging artistic conventions through bold concepts, unconventional materials and an instantly recognisable visual language. His celebrated Spot, Spin and Kaleidoscope paintings explore the relationships between beauty, transformation, repetition and complexity, reflecting his ongoing fascination with life, art and the nature of existence.

Tasting Notes:
Dom Pérignon Brut Damien Hirst 2018
‘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.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 99/100
‘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, 98/100 (May 2026)
‘The 2018 Dom Pérignon is a total stunner. Bright and crystalline in the glass, the 2018 sizzles with mineral-drenched tension. Citrus peel, chalk, white flowers and slate are some of the many nuances that open with a bit of coaxing. The 2018 will need a few years to start hitting its stride, but it is super-impressive in the early going. Stylistically, it reminds me of the 2004 (also a high-yielding vintage) in its slender, lithe build.’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 98/100 (April 2025)
‘Smoky, tense and taut with more marked acidity and depth than the 2017. But then the ripeness really shines through, too, though there’s a touch of something saline or mineral. This should last well. Great fruit intensity. Really very glamorous indeed. A no-brainer for hedonists.’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18+/20
