2012 Veuve Clicquot Vintage Champagne La Grande Dame, Yayoi Kusama Edition 750ml
Located in New York
$159.00
1 in stock
One of the top Champagnes of the 2012 vintage, and a limited-edition collectible, the 2012 Grande Dame Yayoi Kusama is a tribute to the Grande Dame herself, Madame Clicquot. Visionary artist Yayoi Kusama adorns the classic Veuve presentation with vibrant flowers and polka dots – at once capturing the trademark and bubbly charm of the artist, and the lively expression of the house from which Grande Dame was born. Dominated by Pinot Noir (90%, the remaining 10% is Chardonnay), the wine has a rich and structured palate, with an exquisite bouquet of white flowers, apple, pear, peach, and hints of toasted almond before a fine, mineral finish. Collector’s item and a fantastic gift.

Reviews & Scores
A generous golden colour betrays the dominance of Pinot Noir in the blend; this theme thereafter maintained by aromatics of fig, wild strawberries and Mirabelle plums; behind that, jasmine, red apples and a distant whiff of woodsmoke. Engaging already, in other words. One’s impressions are confirmed and amplified on the palate, with the aspiration voiced by both chef de caves Dominique and Didier, to allow the ‘cooler’ Pinot Noir sites full rein. This is eloquently evidenced by a subtle and deftly textured structure, the primary fruit notes of nectarine and citrus peel underscored by a richer, still somewhat reticent, core, darker and more savoury of intent and oh, so subtle at the moment. I have every confidence that this characteristic will come into its own over the longer term and mark the 2012 as one of the more successful outings for this outstanding cuvée. - DC

Aromas of lime zest, lemon and brioche follow through to a full body with a round, creamy texture, fine bubbles and a delicious finish. Direct and focused 2012. Lots of elegance and energy in this. - JS

The 2012 La Grande Dame is terrific. In fact, it is one of the finest recent Grande Dames I can remember tasting. Vibrant and tense, the 2012 exudes energy. At this stage, the natural richness of the 2012 vintage is hidden behind the wine's bright, salivating acids. Green apple, pear, mint and white pepper add a brilliant aromatic top register. - VM

Fine and graceful, this dances across the palate with its bright, well-defined freshness and detailed flavors of Mandarin orange, toast point, crème de cassis and minerally oyster shell. Subtle in its intensity, with all the pieces seamlessly knit into an elegant whole. - WS
