2012 Veuve Clicquot

A highly collectible Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2012 Brut, presented in its spectacular Yayoi Kusama limited-edition collector’s box. Created as part of the collaboration between Veuve Clicquot and internationally renowned Japanese contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama, the presentation box features her unmistakable floral and polka-dot visual language. The bottle and original presentation case form a particularly attractive crossover collectible between prestige Champagne, contemporary art and luxury design. La Grande Dame is Veuve Clicquot’s prestige cuvée and a tribute to Madame Clicquot. The 2012 vintage is composed of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay, sourced from six historic crus, with a dosage of 6 g/L. Veuve Clicquot describes the wine as combining floral and fresh-fruit notes with greater complexity of dried apricot, hazelnut and honey on the palate.
