Adorned with the joyful audacity of Yayoi Kusama, the Édition La Grande Dame 2012 from Veuve Clicquot is an ode to light and time. Beneath the hypnotic polka-dot artwork lies an emblematic cuvée born in 1972 as a tribute to Madame Clicquot, the visionary pioneer who shaped Champagne's elegance. The 2012 vintage, marked by low yields and remarkable ripeness, reveals a perfectly contained intensity. Made exclusively from the eight historic Grands Crus of the House, this predominantly Pinot Noir blend expresses the depth of its terroir, the precision of its élevage and the nobility of an unmistakable style. The wine rested for at least eight years on the lees, a prolonged period that refines the texture, polishes the bubbles and enriches the aromatic palette. The result is a grand-style champagne, concentrated, silky and finely chiselled, already praised by international critics, including a 95 points score from Wine Spectator. This edition, both iconic and contemporary, will appeal to informed enthusiasts seeking emotion as well as aesthetes looking to offer a collectible piece that speaks to the eye as much as to the palate.
La Grande Dame 2012 displays the personality of the dominant Pinot Noir, complemented by a touch of Chardonnay for lift and brightness. The blend, approximately 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay, comes from the historic Grands Crus acquired by the House under Madame Clicquot's drive. These origins give the wine its structure, density and the mineral resonance that characterises great terroirs. Lees ageing, carried out for a minimum of eight years in the darkness of the cellars, allows the bubbles to reach exemplary finesse while developing discreet, savory notes of complexity. The singularity of the 2012 vintage, with a ripe and perfectly balanced harvest, offers precise fruit, lively definition and a depth that extends on the palate with brilliance. Every winemaking gesture here aims for purity and harmony so that the terroir's expression remains the guiding thread of this signature cuvée.
Serve La Grande Dame 2012 between 10 and 12°C to preserve the freshness of the effervescence while allowing the aromatic richness to express itself. Prefer a tulip-shaped glass with a wide bowl rather than a narrow flute, to give the bouquet room to develop. Open the bottle a few minutes before serving to let the wine broaden without losing its tension. Store bottles on their side away from light, in a cool, consistent cellar. If the tasting extends, a suitable stopper will help preserve the sparkle for the remainder of the service.
La Grande Dame 2012 Édition Yayoi Kusama is invited to moments when the table becomes a stage, conversation turns to music and the act of service takes on ritual. It gracefully accompanies intimate celebrations, elevates gastronomic dinners and stands as an exceptional gift, as memorable to the eye as to the palate.

Champagne embodies the French art of living — refinement, emotion, and celebration. Born from a unique terroir in northeastern France, it owes its exceptional character to a cool climate, chalky soils, and centuries of craftsmanship. Made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it reveals an endless palette of aromas depending on the blend and vintage. Its creation follows the famous Champagne method, where a second fermentation in the bottle gives rise to its natural effervescence and incomparable finesse. Behind every bubble lies the patient work of the winemaker, the passage of time, and the precision of true artistry. A universal symbol of joy and elegance, Champagne accompanies every moment — from aperitifs and fine dining to desserts and intimate celebrations.
