Dom Pérignon has teamed up with British artist Damien Hirst to create a special limited-edition collection for the end of 2026.

The collaboration features two vintages — Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018 and Rosé Vintage 2010 — with bottles adorned with Hirst’s artwork from his renowned Kaleidoscope series.

At the heart of the project is the shield-shaped label familiar to fans of the champagne house. Hirst has filled it with a dense, symmetrical pattern that is then repeated across the entire surface of the bottle and gift box.

The shield shape itself remains intact, but it is now incorporated into a larger repeating composition rather than simply serving as a decorative frame. A black collar around the neck of the bottle is finished with the words “Limited Edition” and the artist’s signature.

Each vintage has been given its own distinctive color palette.

Vintage 2018 is presented in deep shades of blue and purple, which Dom Pérignon associates with ideas of infinity and spirituality.

For Rosé Vintage 2010, Hirst chose rich shades of magenta, red and pink. According to the brand, the colors are intended to evoke Pinot Noir, the grape variety at the heart of the blend.

The gift boxes feature the same kaleidoscopic patterns, while the shield at the center is finished in silver.

Damien Hirst joins a long list of creative collaborators who have worked with Dom Pérignon. Over the course of nearly three decades, the champagne house has partnered with such celebrated names as Andy Warhol, Marc Newson, Jeff Koons, the estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Takashi Murakami, Karl Lagerfeld, David Lynch, Lenny Kravitz and Lady Gaga.

The limited-edition Dom Pérignon x Damien Hirst Vintage 2018 gift edition is priced at £230, while the Rosé Vintage 2010 costs £405.
