G.H. Mumm Brut Cordon Rouge Champagne
G.H. Mumm Brut Cordon Rouge Champagne is ideal as an aperitif and beyond, Mumm Cordon Rouge works as well as an accompaniment to white meat, as it does to fish or fine cured meats (Italian ham, smoked duck breast). Mumm’s champagne rituals introduce 21st-century devotees to new ways of enjoying champagne. This Cuvee fully expresses its aromas and structure when served at 8°C.
This champagne is a brightly sparkling, light golden yellow liquid with an abundance of fine and elegant bubbles. The nose reveals initial aromas of ripe fresh fruit (white and yellow peaches, apricots), and tropical notes (lychee and pineapple). It then opens up with the fragrance of vanilla before developing notes of milky caramel, breadcrumbs, and yeast, culminating in aromas of dried fruit and honey. An explosion of freshness in the mouth, followed by strong persistence. The complex aromas of fresh fruit and caramel perpetuate the intensity.

In 1876, as a tribute to some of their most prestigious clients, Mumm decorated a few of their bottles with a crossed red silk ribbon (a reference to the Legion of Honour) and sealed them with an oval label. The success of Cordon Rouge was established…As the Champagne des Souverains, so great was the fame of the Cordon Rouge wine that it became the symbol of the House and champagne as a whole. The wine lovers of today continue to worship Mumm Cordon Rouge and have made Cuvee France’s premier and one of the world’s favorite champagnes. Georges Hermann Mumm is the man to whom we owe the House’s iconic cuvee. In 1876, to assert the quality of its champagne, the House decided to adorn its bottles with a red silk ribbon, a reference to the Ordre de Saint Louis and the Grand Cordon de la Legion d’Honneur. Its success was immediate: a symbol of Maison Mumm’s excellence and expertise, the Cordon Rouge Cuvee henceforth became a true benchmark all over the world.
