The Signature of Victory and Celebration: The Iconic Red Ribbon.

Experience the vibrant energy and fresh, elegant character of G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge, a Champagne that is synonymous with celebration. The iconic red ribbon, or ‘Cordon Rouge’, slashed across this 750ml bottle is more than just a label; it’s a symbol of excellence and a tribute to glory that has been proudly displayed since 1876.

A Heritage of Daring and Honour: Founded in Reims in 1827, Maison Mumm has always been driven by a spirit of adventure. In 1876, founder Georges Hermann Mumm made a bold decision. Inspired by the red sashes worn by recipients of the French Légion d’Honneur—the nation’s highest civilian award—he decorated his brut cuvée with a striking red silk ribbon. This audacious move created an icon, forever associating Mumm with honour, respect, and triumphant moments. For decades, it was the celebratory spray on Formula 1 podiums, sealing its reputation as the Champagne of victory.

A Blend of Freshness and Intensity: The Mumm Cordon Rouge style is defined by the high proportion of Pinot Noir in its blend, which provides structure, power, and intensity. This is expertly balanced with the freshness and elegance of Chardonnay and the fruity roundness of Pinot Meunier. A masterful blend of over 100 different crus, including a significant portion of reserve wines, ensures the consistent quality and vibrant character for which Mumm is renowned. After blending, the Champagne is aged for a minimum of 20 months in the chalk cellars, allowing its complex aromas to develop.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: A radiant, golden-yellow hue with a lively and persistent stream of fine bubbles.
