PAIRING
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).

ENJOYING
Mumm's champagne rituals introduce 21st-century devotees to new ways of enjoying champagne. This cuvée fully expresses its aromas and structure when served at 8°C

CRAFTING
The style of every Mumm Cordon Rouge cuvée is a constant, subtle balance of freshness and intensity:

• A cuvée blended from 77 crus, every one unique
• The grape variety traditionally used by Mumm, Pinot Noir (45%), endows the wine with structure and strength
• Chardonnay blend (30%) that ensures both finesse and elegance
• The fruity, sharp and well-rounded notes of Pinot Meunier (25%) complete the blend
• A separate pressing and vinification for each grape variety and cru, to ensure a wide range of aromas and taste sensations
• 25% to 30% addition of reserve wine which brings depth to the final blend
• A residual sugar content of 8g/l to remain constant and true to the Maison MUMM style

As the Champagne des Souverains, so great was the fame of the Cordon Rouge wine that it became the symbol of the House and of champagne as a whole. The wine lovers of today continue to worship Mumm Cordon Rouge and have made the cuvée France's premier and one of the world's favourite champagnes.

Georges Hermann Mumm is the man to whom we owe the House's iconic cuvée. In 1876, to assert the quality of its champagne, the House decided to adorn their bottles with a red silk ribbon, a reference to the Ordre de Saint Louis and to the Grand Cordon de la Légion d'Honneur. Its success was immediate: a symbol of Maison Mumm's excellence and expertise, the Cordon Rouge cuvée henceforth became a true benchmark all over the world.
