Yellow Label Brut 750mL in the Limited Edition Sun Totem Champagne Cooler, Designed with Yinka Ilori
The Sun Totem is the latest chapter of "Chasing the Sun," Veuve Clicquot's collaboration with British-Nigerian artist and designer Yinka Ilori, known as the "architect of joy." Ilori reimagined the calabash, the traditional African gourd vessel, as a sculptural, portable champagne cooler in Clicquot's signature yellow, patterned with his sunburst and blue-dot motif. Knitted in 3D from upcycled materials and fitted with a strap and a rounded cap, it keeps a bottle chilled for up to 90 minutes, wherever the celebration takes you.
Inside is a 750mL bottle of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut, the House's signature non-vintage champagne since 1772. Built on a Pinot Noir backbone for structure, with Chardonnay for freshness and Meunier for roundness, and enriched with a generous share of reserve wines, it is aged on the lees for a minimum of three years before release. The result is Clicquot's trademark balance of power and finesse, bottled at 12% ABV.
Tasting Notes
Nose: White fruits, apple and pear, with brioche, vanilla and a hint of raisin. Palate: Rich and structured, with baked apple, ripe stone fruit and fine, persistent bubbles. Finish: Fresh and long, with citrus brightness and toasty depth.
