Dom Perignon Lenny Kravitz Edition: Price, Taste, Reviews

What’s special about the Dom Perignon Lenny Kravitz edition?     

Dom Perignon collaborated with singer, songwriter, and photographer Lenny Kravitz as its creative director for the 2006 and 2008 vintages.

Three unique limited edition products were born out of this partnership - limited edition 2006 and 2008 vintage bottles, a  2008 Magnum candelabra box, and a Champagne table.  This article explores the Dom Perignon Lenny Kravitz edition — including its taste, critics’ reviews, and delicious food pairings.

The Collaboration Between Dom Perignon and Lenny Kravitz 

Dom Pérignon has always collaborated with iconic personalities like Lenny Kravitz, David Lynch, and Jeff Koons. 

Kravitz always had an affinity for this iconic label and was close to the Chef De Cave, Richard Geoffroy.

Here are the three limited edition releases that were designed by Lenny Kravitz:

1. Limited edition Vintage 2008 and Rosé Vintage 2006 bottles 

Inspired by the art of goldsmiths, Lenny Kravitz introduced a limited edition bottle for the 2008 vintage (priced at $284) and the 2006 Rose vintage (priced at $404), which featured a hand-hammered metal shield on the Dom Perignon bottle.

2. The 2008 Magnum Candelabra Box 

Reimagining the 2008 Magnum, Kravitz transformed the packaging into a multifunction candleholder with a velvet lining and a false snakeskin texture. 

3. Champagne Table

Lenny Kravitz’s Champagne table steals the show with its unique design.

A black lacquer table unfolds to reveal elegant Dom Perignon bottles, an ice bucket, and glasses in the center. 

How Does the Dom Perignon Lenny Kravitz Limited Edition Taste?

These sparkling wine bottles from the house of Moet and Chandon are made using Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and come with exotic flavors:    

• Vintage 2008: 2008’s effervescence comes through with a freshness that’s signature to Dom Perignon vintage. It has subtle hints of toasted brioche, stone fruit, and white flowers, along with fruit aromas and dark spicy notes. The palate embodies warmth and a toned character.

• Rose Vintage 2006: Pinot Noir gives this Champagne dark spicy notes and subtle toasted brioche and smoky accents. The palate has candied orange, roasted fig, citrus fruit, and faint vegetable flavors.

Dom Perignon Lenny Kravitz Edition Food Pairings

The vintage’s characteristic acidity and minerality go well with seafood, pressed cheese, and white meat.

Serve this Champagne at 10oC-12oC in white wine or Dom Perignon glass to fully enjoy its aromas and flavors.
