A collaboration with Yinka Llori
Veuve Clicquot has partnered with British artist Yinka Ilori for a unique collaboration. This partnership celebrates the meeting of winemaking excellence and a bold artistic vision, transforming tasting boxes into true collector’s items. Known for his vibrant aesthetic language rooted in his dual British-Nigerian heritage, Yinka Ilori breathes new energy into the House’s iconic cuvées. The limited-edition gift sets, dedicated to Brut Carte Jaune and Brut Rosé, do more than simply protect the bottle: they become vessels of optimism and shared joy. The design, both playful and functional, echoes the avant-garde spirit once embodied by Madame Clicquot, the “Grande Dame of Champagne.”
This collection is an invitation to rediscover timeless classics in a new light, where each box tells a story of joy, resilience, and creativity. A centerpiece for design enthusiasts as much as for lovers of fine wines.
The origin of the Veuve Clicquot Arrow box
Inspired by traditional road signs, the Clicquot arrow invites you to celebrate the journey with this yellow metal case, the iconic color of Veuve Clicquot. Since its founding in 1772, the House has exported its wines, first throughout Europe, then to the United States, and later expanding to Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. In those days, traveling was an adventure and shipping wines around the world was a challenge.
Brut Carte Jaune
A non-vintage Champagne, blended from a wide range of crus with a high proportion of reserve wines. Brut dosage of around 9 g/L. A creamy texture, yellow fruit, brioche notes, and a chalky structure. A consistent style, characterized by the dominance of Pinot Noir and the balance of the three grape varieties.
- Pinot Noir brings structure, energy, and red fruit.
- Chardonnay brings freshness, vibrancy, and purity.
- Meunier brings suppleness, white fruit, and a gentle minerality.
Arrow Customization
Personalization involves entering a city (or location) and displaying the distance to the Reims cellars as the crow flies. The character limit is 18 characters.

Storage and Serving
Store this set
Store the Arrow Yellow Hands gift set in a dry, temperate place. Keep the bottle at 10–12 °C, lying down, away from light. The metal case provides physical protection, but the temperature stability of the cellar remains crucial for preserving the fineness of the bubbles and the purity of the aromas.
Aging potential (bottle)
Optimal drinking window: 2026–2031. 2026–2027: vibrant yellow fruit, lively on the palate. 2028–2029: more pronounced brioche–almond complexity. 2030–2031: notes of dried fruit and light honey, with tension still present. The non-vintage Brut aims for a stable and consistent expression.
Serving
Serve at 9–10 °C in tulip-shaped glasses with a narrower bowl. Pour in small streams to preserve the foam. The box is gift-ready as is; remove the bottle just before serving to maintain its freshness.
