It was announced at a press conference on Thursday, June 6th that a new rosé wine and a new vintage wine will be released by "Y by YOSHIKI," the wine brand produced by YOSHIKI.
The newly announced rosé wine joins the white Chardonnay and red Cabernet Sauvignon from "Y by YOSHIKI California," one of the flagship series of "Y by YOSHIKI." In recent years, rosé wine has become extremely popular around the world. In France, consumption has tripled over the past 23 years, to the point where it is said that one in every four bottles of wine consumed is rosé wine. It is also becoming increasingly popular in the United States, and YOSHIKI himself has had more opportunities to enjoy, refreshing rosé wine, so he decided to add it to his lineup in order to popularize rosé wine in Japan.
In addition, new vintages will be released from "Y by YOSHIKI California", "Y by YOSHIKI Russian River Valley", and "Y by YOSHIKI Oakville". In particular, "Y by YOSHIKI Russian River Valley" and the series' top "Y by YOSHIKI Oakville" had a history of abandoning winemaking due to the smoke damage caused by the 2020 wildfires, and expectations are high for finally being released after overcoming major obstacles.
"Y by YOSHIKI" is a wine brand with a 15-year history, which began in 2009 as a collaboration between YOSHIKI and Rob Mondavi Jr., the fourth generation winemaker of a Napa Valley winemaking family. It is also called the "phantom wine" because it sells out instantly every time it is released, and this new rosé and new vintage wine is no different.
In addition, it was announced that the best-selling champagne "Y by YOSHIKI x CHAMPAGNE POMMERY Brut", created by the prestigious French Maison POMMERY, which was founded over 180 years ago and is known as YOSHIKI champagne, in a first-of-its-kind partnership with YOSHIKI in its long history, has been selected as the champagne by the glass at Nobu, the world-famous Japanese and Peruvian fusion restaurant brand located in the luxury hotel "Fairmont Monte Carlo" in Monaco.
As a result, the "Y by YOSHIKI x CHAMPAGNE POMMERY" series, which continues to expand sales around the world, will now be launched in Monaco, following Japan, Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Nathalie Vranken, owner of Champagne Pommery, commented on the launch of YOSHIKI Champagne in Monaco,
"We are extremely honoured to be able to realise this dream collaboration between Nobu's fine cuisine, which combines the delicacy of Japanese cuisine with the use of South American spices, bringing to life the essence of global gastronomy, the global artist YOSHIKI, and the masterpiece 'Y by YOSHIKI x CHAMPAGNE POMMERY Brut' created by the prestigious Champagne House Pommery
. "
Furthermore, Vranken Pommery Japan CEO Ken Shioi spoke passionately about this achievement in Monaco, saying, "Monaco is known as an exclusive city where the world-famous F1 Grand Prix is held and where wealthy people from all over the world gather. We feel it is a great honor that 'Y by YOSHIKI x CHAMPAGNE POMMERY Brut' has been selected as the champagne by the glass at this top-class hotel in such an exclusive city."
"Y by YOSHIKI×CHAMPAGNE POMMERY Brut", which was released in Japan in September 2022 ahead of the rest of the world, sold out the first batch of 10,000 bottles in just 10 minutes after it went on sale. The importer's inventory, including sales in stores and by pre-order at restaurants, was all sold out on the day of release, setting an unprecedented record for the speed at which the first batch was sold out in the history of POMMERY, a company with a long history founded in 1836.
In December 2023, the first rosé champagne "Y by YOSHIKI×CHAMPAGNE POMMERY Brut Rosé" was released, which also sold out immediately by pre-order. Both have made new legends as "phantom champagnes".
At the press conference, it was also mentioned that a special red logo gift box for the rosé champagne "Y by YOSHIKI × CHAMPAGNE POMMERY Brut Rosé" announced last fall has been completed and will be on sale for Christmas. This special box for rosé champagne was born from a sudden inspiration that YOSHIKI mentioned during the press conference at the time: "It would be better to make the box red to match the bottle," and shows just how creative YOSHIKI is.
During the press conference, YOSHIKI commented, "In Europe and the United States, it is customary to enjoy rosé wine quite casually. Although the genre is different, in my music career I have spread new genres of music that were not heard in Japan at the time. I feel the same way about winemaking. In Japan, wine still tends to be associated with red and white, and rosé is not common. This new wine is one I am confident in, having been completed after hundreds of tastings, so I hope that 'Y by YOSHIKI' will make an impact on the market."
