One of Australia's most stylish women, fashion expert and entrepreneur Lindy Klim, acted as the 2015 Mumm Melbourne Cup ambassador and host the marquee on Derby Day. Lindy will conduct the official toast of the day with the impressive 12L and 15L bottles of Mumm Cordon Rouge, which have been exclusively flown in from France for the event. Lindy will also host a luxury brunch for VIPS that will feature magnums from Maison Mumm’s Collection du Chef de Caves, a rare selection of champagne that features the celebrated Mumm Cordon Rouge Millésimes of 1985, 1990 and 1996 of which there are only a limited number of bottles available in the world.

Guests had also experience the art of sabrage, a 200 year old French tradition which sees a sabre used to break the neck of the bottle clean away from the base, leaving it ready to pour.  Inspired by the French Alps, guests will also be invited to try a twist on traditional sabrage with ‘skibrage’.
