Dom Pérignon celebrated its newly launched special edition, Vintage 2015, with a remarkable tribute to the iconic artist Jean-Michel Basquiat at The Brant Foundation in New York City’s East Village on October 10th, 2024. The star-studded event, attended by celebrities like Zoë Kravitz, Natasha Lyonne, and Luka Sabbat, brought together artists, creatives, and admirers of Basquiat’s legacy to experience an evening of artistic immersion and homage to his enduring influence on contemporary culture.

In tribute to Basquiat, the event featured an immersive display of his work In Italian (1983), the very piece that inspired the design of the special edition bottle. Guests were treated to a unique installation by famed photographer Maripol, who delved into her archives to capture the evening’s guests in real-time Polaroids, reminiscent of her celebrated work during New York’s vibrant art scene in the 1980s. The atmosphere of the event was charged with creativity, with attendees dancing to beats by DJ Justin Strauss after an opening jazz performance by the Onyx Collective—perfectly encapsulating Basquiat’s own fusion of visual art and musical expression.

The Brant Foundation, known for housing some of Basquiat’s most legendary exhibitions, provided the perfect backdrop for the event. Owned by Peter Brant, one of the top global collectors of Basquiat’s work, the venue is a non-profit organization hosting multiple exhibitions throughout the year, making it an ideal place for this unique celebration. Dom Pérignon’s Vintage 2015 draws inspiration from Basquiat’s most profound works, making this tribute a true meeting of two creative forces that push the boundaries of artistry.

The special edition Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 honors both Basquiat’s raw and revolutionary creativity and the Champagne Maison’s commitment to excellence and harmony. With just the right balance of precision and depth, this exquisite vintage will be available at select retailers starting in October 2024.

Our Newest Obsession The Dom Pérignon Inspired Tasting Menu at Morgenstern's Ice Cream

Starting today award-winning architect and gourmand Stephanie Goto and Nicholas Morgenstern, founder and owner of NYC’s Morgenstern’s Ice Cream are debuting their collaborative elevated ice cream-infused omakase menu called Elevated Expansion, inspired by the latest release from Dom Pérignon champagne.

The omakase menu will be available once a week, by reservation only, at the Morgenstern’s Sundae Bar on 88 Houston via RESY. The à la carte pairings will be available each Tuesday from 12 PM-10 PM by reservation.

Celebrating the release of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2003 Plénitude 2 and National Ice Cream Day on July 18, the limited-run tasting menu is a storytelling journey, presented in three acts and titled Elevated Expansion. Presented through Goto’s distinctly Japanese lens, the progression highlights the unexpected and shared linearities between champagne and ice cream. Centered around energy, space and time the menu curates and reimagines ingredients from Stephanie’s heritage, elevating traditional dishes to their second Plénitude.

The seven-course menu pairing concept was imagined by award-winning architect, gourmand and Dom Pérignon collector Goto through her longtime friendship with chef-turned-ice-cream innovator Morgenstern, and her friendship and love of the legendary champagne house Dom Pérignon. Goto collaborated with Morgenstern to incorporate their favorite and nostalgic ingredients – tamago, soy sauce, sushi rice, and dashi – to narrate a one of a kind journey connecting America and France, East and West, high and low in an revelatory way.

“Creating this experience utilized a parallel process to how I approach architecture and the sensorial. My vision is inspired by materials, textures, forms and presenting them in a familiar yet transformed way. The story is focused on something quintessentially American - ice cream - meeting something quintessentially French - champagne – and knitted together through my lens of Japan,” said Goto.

The menu will also feature à la carte offerings of a caviar trompe l’oeil ice cream cone featuring Russian River Imperial Caviar paired with a glass Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010, a delightful ‘toro burger’ paired with a glass of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2006, and a prismatic matcha and red bean sundae cube paired with Dom Pérignon Plénitude 2 Vintage 2003.

We’ve all had the 1996, but in exciting news from the Champagne world Dom Pérignon is releasing their Vintage 2010 this September. 2010 was a challenging, complex year with extreme weather conditions from a rigorous winter to a very delayed dry spring, however, Dom Pérignon meticulously and with great precision produced a vintage that resulted in a true testament of nature and worthy of a sip. Due to these conditions, the luxury champagne house is only releasing a limited number and is one of few houses to launch a vintage.

The newest vintage has generous aromas of tropical fruit that instantly shines, followed by freshness. The vintage on the palate has a sappy sensation that unfolds generously yet firm and controlled.
