Veuve Clicquot
Every anniversary celebration calls for something sweet, and this year Veuve Clicquot rosé celebrated its 200th Anniversary with a profusion of pink roses, French music and saccharine desserts.
I was lucky enough to be helping Black Communications produce an event with the on premise partner Rockpool Dining Group.
On 21 June media guests, friends of the brands and influencers stopped into Saké Restaurant and Bar in Double Bay to enjoy Japanese canapé by Chef Shaun Presland which were paired with the delicate and fruit forward Veuve Clicquot Rosé Champagne.
On the table we laid out dozens of pinks garden roses, extravagant layered sponge and torched meringue Andy Bowdy cakes and magnums of Veuve Clicquot rosé.
Notable guests included; Georgina Safe and Caroline Tran from Harpers Bazaar, actor Tiarne Coupland the current face of Jan Logan plus fashion entrepreneurs like Jane Lu from ShowPo and Vanessa Brown from Breakfast with Audrey.
The cake as a motif - found in the new Veuve Clicquot limited edition ice bucket - is made from stacked overflowing pink and silver paint cans - a nod to the all-important aspect of colour in the art of blending rosé champagne.
In 2018 Veuve Clicquot chooses to mark the 200 years of Madame Clicquot’s first blended rosé with a series of events designed to celebrate female trailblazers, entrepreneurs and creative mavericks of every industry.
The decal artwork created for the front of the restaurant by New York based illustrator Adriana Picker was simply divine incorporating cherry blossom.
