History
With a legacy of almost two centuries
behind it – the House of G.H. MUMM,
established in 1827, still aspires to
the original aims of the great Georges Hermann
Mumm, one of the father fi gures of the House. His
passion was to achieve the highest possible quality
for G.H. MUMM champagnes: time after time he was
heard to say “Only the Best”.
In 1875, he decided to decorate each of his bottles
with the prized Cordon Rouge or red sash of the
Légion d’Honneur, the highest French civilian
distinction, created by Napoleon I.
Over and above the symbol of excellence that it
represents, the Cordon Rouge embodies the true
spirit that drives the House: the quest for perfection,
a spirit of adventure and panache.
Philosophy
he fl agship Mumm Cordon Rouge Brut
embodies the G.H. MUMM House style of
freshness, elegance and power from the
quality of the Pinot Noir in the blend. This style has
been passed down from one Cellarmaster to another
since 1827 and our current Cellarmaster, Didier
Mariotti, continues this tradition today.
Appearance
Fresh, golden yellow with hints of jade, the
wine’s abundant bubbles, both fi ne and elegant,
demonstrate the fi nesse of this champagne.
Nose
Aromas of lemon and grapefruit, combined with the
richness of fi rm, fl eshy fruits such as white peaches,
apricots and tart apples bring freshness and liveliness
to the wine. These are followed by hints of
vanilla, enriched with caramel. Honeyed nuts also
play their part.
Palate
The bubbles are rich on the palate, but never overpowering.
The perfect balance is combined with
a rounded, full vinosity. The mix of fresh fruit
and caramel aromas give even more intensity to
the fi nish. This is a subtly balanced wine with a
remarkable capacity to linger in the mouth.
