RSRV Blanc de Blancs 2012 is produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes from Cramant – meaning “chalk mount” – in the Côte des Blancs, harvested from historic plots acquired by Maison Mumm in 1882. The terroir of this Grand Cru offers ideal climatic conditions and a chalky soil which accentuate the fresh, delicate taste of Chardonnay. For RSRV Blanc de Blancs, relatively low pressure of 4.5 bars (compared with 6 in general for other champagnes) enables the wine to fully express its minerality and subtle sparkle. After a minimum of three years’ aging in the cellars and a light dosage of 6 grams per liter, this 100% Grand Cru cuvée, produced in limited quantities, is ready to be enjoyed. The specific shape of the bottle, with its slender neck, enhances the evolution and conservation of the wine.
Light and luminous, with green and pale yellow highlights, and airy, delicate bubbles.
Aromas of fresh flowers, lemon and fresh fruit (pear, apple).
The attack is elegant, with subtle mineral overtones. It is followed by a lush, creamy sensation, and a lively, expressive finish.
Reserved for a circle of insiders since 1838, Maison Mumm’s exceptional champagnes epitomize the excellence of its terroir and savoir-faire.
