Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2012 by Yayoi Kusama

Short Description

This original creation is a tribute to the iconic "grande dame of Champagne", Madame Clicquot. The Grande Dame is the perfect illustration of the excellence of the Maison.

Blend of 90% Pinot Noir.

If more than 150 years separate them, Madame Clicquot and Yayoi Kusama share many similarities that unite their remarkable destinies. From the work of Yayoi Kusama to the development of the House by Madame Clicquot, these two female figures demonstrate a strong and unwavering commitment.

The Clicquot champagne house was founded in Reims in 1772. In October 1805, under the First Empire of Napoleon I, Barbe-Nicole Clicquot née Ponsardin lost her husband at the age of 27.

She replaces him at the head of the house and names his house: Veuve Clicquot-Ponsardin. She then made 100,000 bottles per year. She would make 750,000 when she died in 1866. The house today belongs to the LVMH Group.
