Only the best.” Georges Hermann Mumm’s motto could certainly also be that of the greatest chefs of today and yesterday. This shared mindset goes a long way to explaining the strength of the bond uniting Mumm’s champagnes and haute cuisine. Among the crus to stand out in recent decades, the 1995, 2006 and 2009 vintage champagnes are timeless cuvées, which are highly sought-after by connoisseurs.A characterful wine, Mumm Grand Cordon perfectly epitomises the House’s motto: “Only the best”. Blended from the best crus, this champagne offers fruity aromas, intense freshness and beautiful complexity, while illustrating the excellence of Mumm’s expertise. Inspired by the initial adventure of the company’s founding fathers, Georges Hermann Mumm tirelessly travelled the globe, across Europe and as far away as Australia and New Zealand to market his champagnes. Already at the turn of the twentieth century, the company counted some twenty subsidiaries in the world’s main markets, including the United States, Russia and Canada, but also Brazil and Peru. Georges Hermann Mumm’s greatest creation was certainly the famous “Cordon Rouge”, first released in 1875. Made from a rich palette of more than 120 villages representing all the diversity of the Champagne region of France, Mumm Cordon Rouge is the signature cuvee of Maison Mumm. This exceptional brut champagne blends Mumm’s signature grape variety, Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and Aube; with Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, Sézannais, Vitryat and Aube; and Meunier from the Marne and Ardre valleys and the Montagne de Reims. Mumm today is one of the largest Champagne producers worldwide, famous for its red ribbon - Cordon Rouge patterned after and resembling the French Grand Cordon of the Légion d'Honneur. Stretching over 30,000 hectares, the Champagne region benefits from a unique microclimate, marked by severe frosts during winter and plenty of sunshine in summer. These specific characteristics help preserve the finesse of the grapes and are propitious to optimal ripening. They also determine the personality of Mumm wines and define their aromatic complexity. The nature of this terroir, the richness of its subsoils and its specific microclimate, coupled with the House’s expertise, help produce unique wines, year after year.

Almost two centuries later, Georges Hermann Mumm’s vision continues to guide the House’s philosophy and production of exceptional champagnes. This vision is reflected in a profound attachment to the vineyard, respect for traditional craftsmanship and an innovative approach, all guarantees of the excellence of its wines. A vision that defines the unique style of Mumm champagne. The House’s legendary cuvées stand as a testimony to their era while reflecting their terroir. Thanks to its lively, intense flavours and capricious weather conditions, Mumm Millésimé 2012 was marked by severe springtime frost and heavy rainfall, followed by cool, wet weather in June during flowering and a particularly hot end to summer. All of these conditions resulted in yields that were low but of exceptional quality. The resulting wines are intense and superbly well-balanced, with the Pinot Noir contributing aromas of white fruit and citrus, combined with the roundness and voluptuousness of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs.In November 2016, G.H. Mumm announced the appointment of eight-time Olympic gold medallist sprinter Usain Bolt as its "CEO" (Chief Entertainment Officer) to feature in a multi-media promotional campaign.

The chapel is decorated with frescos inspired by oriental art. The chapel was consecrated on 1 October 1966 and handed over to the City of Reims on 18 October 1966. The chapel was designated an historic monument in 1992. When all of these factors are combined to produce an exceptional vintage, the Cellar Master may decide to compose their blend exclusively from wines of the same vintage. The final blends are then placed in the cellar for a minimum of three years to fully express their aromas. These remarkable vintages will leave their mark on the history of the Mumm Champagne House. In 1964, René Lalou, the head of the Mumm Champagne House, and Léonard Foujita (1886–1968), a Japanese painter belonging to the École de Paris school of art, decided to build a chapel in the gardens belonging to the Champagne house. Begun in 1965, the Foujita chapel was entirely designed by Foujita in the romanesque style, who drew the plans and designed the ironwork, stained glass and sculptures. He supervised the building and interior decoration. This case reflects Mumm’s philosophy, which has nurtured both tradition and innovation ever since it was established. It takes on an elegant pink shade for the Mumm Le Rosé cuvée. This colour is reminiscent of the champagne itself and calls to mind its fresh overtones of red fruit , strawberry and redcurrant.

The robe’s golden-yellow hue, enlivened by a delicate stream of fine bubbles, extends a sparkling invitation to take a first sip.

Since 1876, the iconic cuvee with its bold red sash signals the start of a memorable moment: good times with good friends. Blended from a minimum of 100 crus, Mumm Cordon Rouge expresses the rich diversity of Champagne’s terroirs, always in the fresh, vibrant style that is the signature of Pinot Noir, the House’s emblematic grape. In the early years of the 19th century, Peter Arnold Mumm’s three sons, Gottlieb, Jacobus and Philipp, recognised the sales potential of the outstanding sparkling wines produced in the Champagne region of France. As Germany and France enjoyed good relations at the time, the Mumm brothers made the bold decision to establish a new branch of the family company in the Champagne region, creating a branch office in Reims with the assistance of a local representative, G.Heuser.It was founded by three brothers: Jacobus, Gottlieb and Phillip Mumm, German winemakers from the Rhine valley, along with G. Heuser and Friedrich Giesler on March 1, 1827, as P. A. Mumm Giesler et Co. P.A. were the initials of the Mumms' father, Peter Arnold Mumm, a successful wine merchant from Solingen. Mumm's label is famous for its red ribbon ( Cordon Rouge), patterned after and resembling the red sash of the Grand Cross ( Grand-croix)—formerly called Grand Ribbon ( Grand cordon)—the highest level of the French Legion of Honour. The fruit of harmonious weather conditions, despite the particularly rainy summer, Mumm Millésime 2008 displays yellow fruit aromas, enhanced by notes of delicious pastries which follow through to the palate, accompanied by beautiful minerality. Mumm has decided to celebrate this heritage with a champagne gift set collection, reinventing the art and pleasure of giving. Presented in an elegant case, these outstanding gifts will delight refined palates at new year’s celebrations, birthdays or any other special occasion.
