Dom Pérignon a limited edition Vintage 2009 by Tokujin Yoshioka
Born at the close of a prodigiously sunlit, generous decade, in a year of intense light and heat, the vintage 2009 of Dom Pérignon is a solar champagne. To the eye, to the palate, it transmits a luminous vibration, almost intangible, yet forcefully present. A champagne of living light, it explodes into infinite colors, inspiring wave upon wave of radiant emotions.
Richard Geoffroy remembers that “the artistic affinity Tokujin shares with Dom Pérignon was evident to me from our first encounter. As we tasted the champagne, he instinctively expressed a strong connection with the solar character of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009.”
The Maison discerns a kindred creative spirit in Tokujin Yoshioka. They share distinct points in common, notably an affinity for the light. Tokujin Yoshioka’s work is particularly inspired by the energy and beauty of light, which made him uniquely suited to create an artistic tribute to the solar Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009. As Tokujin Yoshioka confirms, “Light is the bridge between our shared aesthetic ideals and creative values. And as it happens, the notions of light, transparency and brilliance are especially relevant for Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009.”
"Prism" - Art Piece by Tokujin Yoshioka
The crystal art piece "Prism" is handcrafted by Baccarat which has 250 years of history. Light pass through transparent prism and bottle surface which refract light, and bring the art piece to life in a spectrum of colors.
This spatial art of light consists of three prisms, and light radiates outward from the dark center of the art piece. Tokujin Yoshioka presents Prism, an homage to a champagne of living light that explodes into infinite colours and triggers waves of unique emotion. This essential duality inspired Tokujin Yoshioka’s creation for Dom Pérignon.
He interprets the Maison’s emblematic shield as a luminous force emerging from the dark glass of the bottle: its vibrating energy and shimmering iridescence generates a dimensional, hologrammatic presence. In this powerful rendering, the shield evokes the sensory experience of tasting Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009, in all its light, its colors and emotion.
