TASTING NOTES:
A PURE, TONED CLASSIC WITH IMPOSING WARMTH
A luminous gold.
Wonderfully complex, with scents of white flowers, citrus and stone fruit enhanced by the freshness of aniseed and crushed mint. Finally, spicy, woody and roasted notes emerge.
Perfectly balanced with the nose, the palate is streamlined and pure, with an underlying warmth. Clear, pronounced fruit and a well-integrated acidity, lead to an aromatic and smoky finish.
Cellar Master, Dom Pérignon

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
DOM PÉRIGNON VINTAGE 2008
The summer of 2008 was characterised by grey days and a yearning for sun in Champagne.
But just as harvest began in September, blue skies finally arrived, to bring the vintage to its best.
To capitalise on such perfect conditions, picking was spread out for as long as possible.
The result was Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes of outstanding balance – riper than anyone dared hope.
Kings of creativity
Lenny Kravitz is a long-time friend of Dom Pérignon. Passionate about its vintages and a kindred spirit of former Chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy, the singer has always felt a creative affinity with the champagne brand, which reinvents itself each vintage, to create the best champagne.
Their collaboration began with a series of Kravitz’s photographs. Now Creative Director, he has been given the freedom to create this limited edition – a sign of Dom Pérignon’s respect.
Champagne for sharing
Adored worldwide for his music, Kravitz launched his Kravitz Design studio in 2003. Like his music, each one of his works has a distinctive rhythm and attitude, showcasing his uniquely avant-garde spirit. Through his designs, he invites people to come together.
And with this limited-edition champagne bottle – created for the House alongside a candelabra box and a champagne table – Kravitz elevates champagne tasting to a ritual.
Elevating an icon
With its striking curves, Dom Pérignon’s bottle is already something of an icon. And, borrowing from the craft of goldsmiths for this bottle, Kravitz takes its shield label to the next level. Working hammered metal on to the surface, he creates a shimmering patina reflecting the 2008’s expressive warmth.
It’s the perfect tribute to a vintage champagne revered for its pronounced fruit flavours, well-integrated acidity and smoky finish.
FOOD PAIRING:
PLAY WITH CONTRAST... AND TRY IT WITH THAI
Begin with fresh oysters, and a garnish of Thai basil, or make a Thai-spiced salad that will amplify and accentuate this wine’s effervescence.
Experiment with the duality of mineral notes and fresh fruit, in a dish which pairs langoustine with papaya or octopus carpaccio with a citrussy dressing.
