Dom Pérignon’s ongoing partnership with Murakami evolves in 2025, with the artist redesigning two vintages into thoughtful, vividly realised collector pieces
Dom Pérignon’s collaborations tend to unfold with a certain quietness—no drama, no forced symbolism—just the steady evolution of an idea. The 2025 Murakami editions continue in this mode. They also form a new expression within Dom Pérignon’s creative chapter: Creation is an Eternal Journey, which launched earlier this year with Takashi Murakami contributing as one of the creators.
Now, the Maison has invited Murakami back to redesign the presentation of two vintages, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 and Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010, giving him full authorship over the bottles, labels and coffrets. The result is neither decorative nor disruptive. Instead, Murakami introduces colour and softness into Dom Pérignon’s disciplined aesthetic without unsettling its structure.
The changes are clear but measured. His smiling flowers, familiar to anyone who has followed his work, appear against the Maison’s dark palette with a quieter tone than usual. Vivid, yes, but intentionally restrained. The shield and label read differently with the blooms around them, their lines slightly eased. The coffrets, when placed side by side, create a continuous floral field: a subtle gesture that turns the packaging into part of a larger composition rather than an isolated object.

The wines themselves are unchanged, and they hold their ground with ease. Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 is defined by its clarity and calm linearity: tactile, steady and unhurried. Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010 carries more tension, shaped by an exacting harvest and long exploration into Pinot Noir structure. The pairing of Murakami’s softened visual language with the wine’s quiet intensity creates an interesting friction: neither tries to interpret the other, but they sit in comfortable contrast.
The collaboration’s most striking element, however, is the sculptural “Uber piece” created in extremely limited numbers. Outwardly, it appears as a dark, engraved sphere. Smooth, weighty and almost withheld, but the interior shifts the mood entirely. When opened, the sphere reveals a vivid resin garden of Murakami flowers arranged around something far more unexpected: the last Jeroboams of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2008.
