SPARKLING COMPOSITION

From an immersive exhibition to the discovery of 2008 Plénitude 2 and a high-octane after-party, Dom Pérignon's 2025 Révélations celebrated creation through the art of assemblage

It was a wind-whipped evening in London— the kind that makes the Tate Modern’s monolithic concrete mass feel even more severe. But inside, the atmosphere softened. Light was low, the air was tinged with haze and spotlights cut clean paths through the dark as guests walked through. This wasn't a traditional exhibition, nor anything the Tate Modern typically plays host to; this was Creation Is an Eternal Journey, hosted by Dom Pérignon as part of its 2025 Révélations, this year’s edition of the annual celebration that shone a light on the creative process behind the brand.

The occasion also marked the unveiling of Dom Pérignon 2008 Plénitude 2; but it was never just about the wine. Instead, the maison used the occasion to express something broader: a redefinition of its core philosophy, in which assemblage— traditionally understood as the blending of different vintages or crus—is elevated into a wider metaphor for creation. Here, it becomes a principle that embraces contrast, balance and interdisciplinary collaboration.

A curated exhibition, framed as a triptych of time, brought together Dom Pérignon’s storied past, creative present and imagined future.
