When we think of glamour, what often comes to mind is something like this: Diamonds and Caviar. To celebrate the best of the best, two prominent LVMH maisons have teamed up to craft ‘Bvlgari Serpenti x Dom Pérignon Rosé’. This marriage of brands is perfectly represented with a limited edition case of Champagne that’s characterized by the iconic Bvlgari snake wrapping itself around a magnum of Dom Pérignon Rosé. This proudly Franco-Italian collaboration is the work of Bvlgari Creative Director Lucia Silvestri and Dom Pérignon Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon. The ultra exclusive, yet entirely innovative statement is the product of showcasing the best of each brands’ unique cultural heritage.
Each of the four examples are packaged within an alluring saffron and fuchsia lined wood case, with three magnums of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2004 gently strangled by a Bvlgari Serpenti necklace. This fine wine is all too worthy of the snake’s jealousy. The 2004 vintage benefited from a slow ageing process of 12 years in the maison’s cellar, not to mention the fact that Champagne’s 2004 harvest produced grapes that were impressive in both size and yield quantity. By harnessing the radiance of the Pinot Noir grape, Dom Pérignon has crafted a superlative elixir with notes of dark fruit as well as citrus, cocoa, and fresh hay. On the palate the Champagne is intense with long lasting hints of green citrus, a unique hallmark of this particular vintage.
And although the wine is remarkably impressive, we must not forget the serpent and her impressive history. Originally designed by Bvlgari in the 1960s, the inconic Serpenti has gone on to become the brand’s hallmark. A celebration of desire and seduction, for this particular edition, the Serpenti necklace that surrounds the Dom Pérignon magnum’s neck is crafted of Pink Gold, Onyx, and White Diamonds. A further highlight being the bottle’s engraving of a snake and a Rose Gold label which perfectly compliments the Serpenti necklace.
First released in April, the Bvlgari Serpenti x Dom Pérignon Rosé limited edition was made available
exclusively on request in London, Milan and Tokyo.
