behind the cuvée

The first records of a vintage Champagne at Maison Mumm date back to 1842

It was a blend produced from grapes cultivated on the vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, already reputed at the time for the excellence of Pinot Noir grapes grown in Ay, Verzenay and Bouzy. The House’s trademark style was already remarkable, and remains recognizable to this day, nearly two hundred years later. Mumm’s vintage Champagnes showcase the House’s most exceptional harvests and demonstrate the extraordinary aging potential of the finest Pinot Noir wines.

The 2015 vintage saw humid weather conditions typical of the Champagne region, followed by unusually dry weather ideal for maintaining the grapes in perfect health during the harvest. All in all, it was a remarkable year with exceptionally ripe grapes that served as an omen of the rich, enticing character that would develop in the wine.
