In an innovative collaboration, the renowned champagne house Dom Pérignon has teamed up with artist Mathias Bengtsson to create a limited edition collection of 60 unique bottles encased in intricate vine-like sculptures. This exclusive series, inspired by the beauty of nature and advanced technology, features two distinct designs: aurate and pale-rose colorways. The project, guided by Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon, showcases 40 bottles of Vintage 1999 Plénitude 2 wrapped in gold and 20 bottles of Vintage 2000 Plénitude 2 Rosé encased in pink. Each piece is a testament to the fusion of natural elegance and modern craftsmanship.

The artistic vision behind this collaboration stems from Mathias Bengtsson's exploration of nature's complexities intertwined with cutting-edge technology. By using an algorithm that simulates plant growth, Bengtsson crafted delicate tendrils for each sculpture. These designs were then realized through 3D printing, cast in bronze, and finished with meticulous hand polishing. The result is a harmonious blend of organic forms and industrial precision, creating a visually striking representation of nature's beauty.

French entrepreneur Daphné Aubé played a pivotal role in orchestrating this partnership between Dom Pérignon and Bengtsson. Her company, Caractères Paris, has previously facilitated collaborations between the brand and other artists, including ceramist Juliette Clovis. The choice of Bengtsson for this project highlights the brand's commitment to pushing boundaries and embracing innovative art forms. The 1999 vintage, characterized by its unexpected weather patterns, offers a rich umami flavor with fruity undertones, while the 2000 rosé, influenced by extreme climatic conditions, presents a balanced palate with a round mouthfeel.

This latest release follows Dom Pérignon's tradition of artistic collaborations, exemplified by their recent unveiling of a vintage drop inspired by American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. The new collection not only celebrates the artistry of champagne-making but also showcases the brand's dedication to exploring new frontiers in design and innovation. Each bottle stands as a unique work of art, inviting admirers to appreciate the interplay between nature and technology.
