Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé Yinka Ilori Sun Totem Cooler

Product Description

Veuve Clicquot Rosé Sun Totem: A Sunlit Sculpture, Reimagined

The Sun Totems rise as sunlit sculptures, reinterpreting the calabash, a gourd long revered across West African cultures as a symbol of nourishment and community, into a traditionally functional, portable drinking vessel. Their circular tops echo the sun itself, reimagined by British-Nigerian artist and designer Yinka Ilori, widely known as the "Architect of Joy" for his bold, color-saturated, optimistic design language. This Rosé interpretation features solar yellow patterns brought to life with vibrant pink accents, a design tied directly to the character of the Champagne inside.

The Sun Totem is part of Chasing the Sun, a limited-edition collection Veuve Clicquot created in partnership with Ilori, revealed at Milan Design Week in April 2026 and driven by the House's enduring commitment to cultivating joy and optimism. Crafted from upcycled materials using innovative 3D knitting technology, the Totem is a genuinely functional collector's cooler, not just a display piece, keeping a bottle fresh while doubling as a striking sculptural centerpiece before, during, and after the celebration.

Inside is Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé, based on the House's traditional Yellow Label blend and completed with Pinot Noir red wine for added depth and power. This is a genuine limited edition; once it's gone, it's gone, making it a standout gift for Champagne lovers, design enthusiasts, and collectors alike.

What's Included

One 750ml bottle of Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé, presented with the limited-edition Sun Totem cooler designed by Yinka Ilori.

Tasting Notes

Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé is composed of grapes from 50 to 60 different crus, based on the traditional Yellow Label blend and completed with approximately 12% red wine for structure and depth. The nose is generous and elegant, with fresh red and black fruit, raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry, and blackberry, alongside spice notes of white pepper and saffron, and biscuity pastry character from aging on the lees. The palate is powerful and harmonious, balancing fruit intensity with fine effervescence, finishing long and elegant.

Food Pairings

Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé pairs beautifully with a wide range of celebratory fare. Try it alongside duck, red berry desserts, or a charcuterie board with soft cheese, or serve it as an aperitif alongside light appetizers.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé chilled, around 8 to 10°C (46-50°F), in a white wine glass or tulip flute to preserve its aromatic character. The Sun Totem keeps the bottle chilled, making it easy to entertain, travel with, or display the moment guests arrive.
