Inspired by the glorious sunlight that embraced the Champagne region during the birth of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009, Yoshioka presents an artistic tribute to the champagne of living light. Interpreting the emblematic shield of the Maison as a colourful force emerging from the dark glass of the bottle, the vibrant shield presents an iridescent, dimensional and holographic aesthetic. Thus, the sensory experience of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009 from the nose to the palate is enhanced in all its light, its colours and emotions.
Dom Perignon’s 2009 vintage brings a prodigious, sunny, bold and generous decade to a close. The fruit is majestic; ripe, fleshy, and profound. Beyond the richness and certain voluptuousness is a strong impression of consistency that prevails. Yoshioka’s expression of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009 – the luminosity of the year that is the soul of the champagne – is embodied in artistic creation, on the shield of a limited edition coffret and bottle.

On the palate, the fruit is majestic: ripe, fleshy, and profound. Beyond the richness and a certain voluptuousness is a strong impression of consistency that prevails. The wine’s power is remarkably restrained. The various sensations – silky, salty, sappy, bitter, and briny – converge and persist.
