Takashi Murakami’s vision blooms again in Dom Pérignon’s 2025 limited editions
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.

These bottles have a particular significance. Held back in the Maison’s cellars for nearly 15 years, they represent the final large-format expressions of a rosé shaped by one of Champagne’s most challenging growing seasons. 2008 began under grey skies, stumbled through a slow start, and ended in a late, precarious harvest. Yet it produced a rosé with extraordinary balance and tension. In Jeroboam, the wine aged even more gradually, allowing the Pinot Noir to develop depth without weight. With these final bottles placed inside Murakami’s sculptural world, Rosé 2008 reaches its closing chapter, not as a grand finale, but as a deliberate, reflective coda.
What makes the 2025 editions interesting is not scale or spectacle, but alignment. Murakami does not overwhelm Dom Pérignon’s visual identity, and the Maison does not dilute his vocabulary. The redesigns feel like small shifts. Intentional, articulate, and entirely in keeping with a partnership that has always prioritised dialogue over noise.
“Through my collaboration with Dom Pérignon, I wanted to express a form of time travel. My goal is to remain relevant in 100 or 200 years and to transcend time,” says Murakami. “When the label has aged, and I am gone, and my children are gone, I hope that people of the future, when they see it, will reimagine 2025 in their own minds.”
