On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, the prestige champagne brand Dom Pérignon, distributed by MHD Moët Hennessy Diageo K.K. (Kanda-Jimbocho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), hosted a special dinner event titled 'DOM PÉRIGNON "HARMONY" NEW VINTAGE LAUNCH DINNER' embodying their 2026 theme of 'Harmony.' Welcoming Vincent Chaperon, Dom Pérignon's Chef de Cave, who states, 'Our philosophy is to elevate the diverse contrasts of nature into a single harmony,' the brand undertook an unprecedented endeavor to simultaneously unveil three rare vintages, each with distinct personalities: 'Dom Pérignon Vintage 2017,' 'Dom Pérignon Vintage 2008 Plénitude 2,' and 'Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010.'
Furthermore, the resonance with the culinary gems crafted by Natsuko Shoji, a member chef of the Dom Pérignon Society, completed the harmony woven by the three rare vintages as a comprehensive sensory experience.
The event was also attended by guests Sho Kasamatsu and Ayaka Miyoshi, who enjoyed this exclusive one-night-only dinner experience.
■ 'Harmony' Guiding Dom Pérignon's Creation
For Dom Pérignon, 'Harmony' is the philosophy that evokes emotion and serves as the source of creation.
Contrasting elements—the opposing characteristics of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, nature and human endeavor, tension and balance, intuition and intellect—meet and resonate, giving birth to the lingering finish and perfection unique to Dom Pérignon. The vintages unveiled this time embody this ideal in different forms. 'Dom Pérignon Vintage 2017,' born after overcoming a complex harvest year; 'Dom Pérignon Vintage 2008 Plénitude 2,' which gained new energy and depth through its second plénitude (maturation); and 'Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010,' which vividly reflects the expressive power of Pinot Noir. Each vintage resonated with Chef Natsuko Shoji's cuisine, constructing a harmony that culminated in an experience savored through all five senses.
■ Comment from Vincent Chaperon, Chef de Cave of Dom Pérignon
Dom Pérignon's philosophy is to elevate the tensions and contrasts brought by nature into a single harmony, which is the very 'Art of Living' embodied by our founder, Dom Pierre Pérignon. The 'Harmony' we uphold is exactly 'unity in diversity,' and the three rare vintages unveiled this time also compose a magnificent worldview through 'time' and 'dialogue.' The Vintage 2017, a 'bad boy' (to personify it) with an overwhelming sense of tension after overcoming difficulties, and the Vintage 2008 Plénitude 2, draped in profound umami and complexity after the magic of approximately 18 years of time. By intersecting with the Rosé 2010, which embodies 'movement' with power and refinement, their outstanding individualities enhance each other, playing a supreme ensemble. This multifaceted harmony of wine resonates beautifully with the powerful yet elegant and gentle cuisine of Chef Natsuko Shoji, and with her own personality. I am proud to share this truly unique experience with you all, completed through the beautiful correspondence between the dialogue of the three vintages and her culinary masterpieces.
■ Three Vintages Depicting 'Harmony'
• Dom Pérignon Vintage 2017
A rare vintage born from rigorous sorting and assemblage, overcoming a complex harvest year. While considered a special bottle with the smallest production volume in Dom Pérignon's history, it sublimates tension and richness, expressing a harmony that reflects the Maison's quest for creation where precision and power overlap.
• Dom Pérignon Vintage 2008 Plénitude 2 (P2)
The outstanding 2008 vintage reaches its second plénitude after approximately 15 years of cellar maturation. A refined structure and depth, refreshing acidity, and creamy texture layer together, allowing the energy and richness brought by time to expand as a new harmony.
• Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2010
Unleashed after about 15 years, a rosé that vividly reflects the power and vitality of Pinot Noir. The energy of concentrated fruit, precise acidity, and silky smooth texture melt together, creating a harmony unique to rosé where tension and grace resonate.
