Veuve Clicquot Sun Holder by Yinka Ilori: Not Every Champagne Accessory Gets Debuted at Milan Design Week

Not every champagne accessory gets debuted at Milan Design Week. The Sun Holder did. Veuve Clicquot partnered with British-Nigerian artist and designer Yinka Ilori, widely known as the "Architect of Joy," to create Chasing the Sun, a limited-edition collection of objects that reimagines the rituals around champagne through bold, optimistic design. Revealed in April 2026, the Sun Holder is the centerpiece of that collection.

Its form is drawn from the calabash, a gourd revered across West African cultures as a symbol of nourishment, sharing, and community. Here, that shape is reinterpreted as a contemporary champagne holder, crafted from upcycled materials using innovative 3D knitting technology and covered in Ilori's signature hands-embracing-the-sun pattern. Beyond its striking design, the Sun Holder is genuinely functional: ergonomic, fitted with a movable handle, and built to keep a bottle chilled for up to 90 minutes on the go, elevating every moment of sharing into a joyful, sunlit experience.

Housed inside is Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut, the House's signature champagne since 1877, balancing all four dimensions that define the Veuve Clicquot style: freshness, strength, aromatic richness, and silkiness. Veuve Clicquot has carried the color of the sun on its label since that year, and this collection is a celebration of that legacy, an invitation to slow down, share a glass, and remember what brings you joy. This is a genuine limited edition. Once it's gone, it's gone.

What's Included

One 750ml bottle of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut, presented in the limited-edition Sun Holder designed by Yinka Ilori.

Tasting Notes

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut is a blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay, aged on lees for a minimum of two years for structure, richness, and remarkable consistency. Expect brioche, ripe stone fruit, and peach and pear character on the nose, with a round, fresh palate leading to a clean, generous, persistent finish.

Food Pairings

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label pairs beautifully with a wide range of celebratory fare. Try it alongside oysters, seared scallops, or a soft cheese board, or serve it with light appetizers and fresh fruit for a bright, versatile pairing.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label chilled, around 8 to 10°C (46-50°F), in a white wine glass or tulip flute to preserve its aromatic character. The Sun Holder itself makes it easy to keep the bottle at that ideal temperature for up to 90 minutes while entertaining or transporting it to a celebration.
