Born in Bristol in 1965, Hirst rose to prominence as a leading member of the Young British Artists. His paintings, sculptures and installations explore recurring themes of beauty, belief, science, mortality and transformation. Among his most recognisable creations are his Spot Paintings, Natural History sculptures and Kaleidoscope works formed from intricate, symmetrical arrangements inspired by butterfly wings.\u003cbr\u003eThe special packaging for Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018 draws upon Hirst’s celebrated Kaleidoscope series. Instead of reproducing the butterfly wings used in the original artworks, Hirst multiplies and rearranges Dom Pérignon’s historic shield into a hypnotic, precisely balanced composition. Presented in deep blue—symbolising infinity and spirituality—the design brings together repetition, transformation and symmetry. The iconic shield remains recognisable at the centre, yet appears renewed through Hirst’s distinctive artistic language.\u003cbr\u003eThe collaboration reflects a shared philosophy. Dom Pérignon assembles wines from different grapes and vineyard parcels to create harmony from complexity; Hirst brings individual visual elements together to form a unified and continually shifting composition. The result is a limited edition in which Champagne, craftsmanship and contemporary art become inseparable.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e99 points. - James Suckling\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e98 points. - Vinous\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e96 points. - Wine Spectator\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e94 points. - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e18+\/20 points. - Jancis Robinson\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2018 vintage is luminous and generous, reflecting the warmth and abundance of its growing season while retaining the precision, minerality and refinement expected of Dom Pérignon. The bouquet opens with jasmine, honeysuckle and citrus, followed by ripe orchard fruit, apricot, yellow kiwi and mango. With aeration, more savoury nuances emerge: ivy, balsamic herbs, mineral smoke, chalk and freshly baked brioche.\u003cbr\u003eRich and expansive on the palate, the Champagne combines a silky, beautifully integrated mousse with impressive depth and concentration. Flavours of nectarine, black cherry, candied lemon, grilled nuts and ginger unfold, balanced by fine phenolics and a delicate bitterness. The finish is long, creamy and saline, leaving lingering impressions of bitter lemon, minerals and ripe apricot.\u003cbr\u003eThe generosity and refinement of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2018 make it an outstanding partner for both Western and Asian cuisine. Its freshness complements delicate seafood, while its concentration and creamy texture allow it to accompany richer dishes. Excellent pairings include oysters, caviar and sea urchin; sashimi, tuna tartare and yellowtail carpaccio; seared scallops or lobster with citrus butter; Cantonese steamed fish with ginger and spring onion; tempura prawns or crispy soft-shell crab; roast chicken, suckling pig or lightly glazed duck; grilled turbot with beurre blanc; and aged Comté or Parmesan.\u003cbr\u003eServe at approximately 10–12°C in a generous tulip-shaped Champagne or white-wine glass to allow its layers of fruit, florals and minerality to unfold.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MHD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53069936132327,"sku":"DP-18DH-SGB","price":328.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0399\/1175\/1833\/files\/Screenshot2026-11-15at1.00.10PM.png?v=1794723694","url":"https:\/\/shop.themoomba.com\/products\/dom-perignon-x-damien-hirst-brut-vintage-2018-special-edition-750ml-with-gift-box","provider":"The Moomba Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
