Two Myths
An encounter between two icons in different period of time that have a lot in common. They revolutionized their own discipline and have created something truly unique and timeless with a high desirability today.
-
An Iterative Creative Process
Both Basquiat and Dom Pérignon were driven by intuition, putting assembling or making at the heart of the creative process to achieve singular creation. Basquiat's artistic process, involved layering various elements such as text, symbols and images. Similarly, Dom Pérignon's making process is a meticulous art of assembling- unique vintages, and blends- to achieve a harmonious and singular creation.

Art Elevation
Both myths have elevated their respective disciplines to the status of art, share a commitment to pushing creative boundaries despite facing constraints. For Dom Pérignon, this means always a vintage wine. An unyielding commitment to bear witness to the harvest of a single year, whatever the challenges, even going as far as not declaring a vintage. Basquiat would revisit and build upon his canvases, adding layers of meaning and nuance over time.

Nose
Initially somewhat somber with roasted notes and cacao powder.
The nose then gradually opens, like a floral bouquet. Linden leaves, Jasmine and finally peony, highlighting the spicy dimension of the wine, with anise and cardamom. A vegetal and fruit freshness massages the overall sensation with chlorophyll, orange peel and green papaya.
-
Palate
The wine is broad and horizontal. It spreads across the palate, delicate then generous. It caresses and stimulates at the same time, more on the sides of the tongue than the tip. Flesh of fresh peach and nectarine envelop sculpted bitter notes of ctitrus and gentian.
