✨ Technical Specifications
G.H. Mumm's Blanc de Blancs, historically celebrated as 'Mumm de Cramant,' is a historic jewel of the Champagne region. First created in 1882, this cuvée was originally reserved exclusively for the friends and favored clients of the House, delivered by hand with a visiting card whose corner was folded down—a tradition honored today by the unique folded corner of its label. Crafted entirely from Chardonnay harvested from the historic Grand Cru vineyards of Cramant in the Côte des Blancs, this Champagne is defined by its chalky soils. Traditionally bottled at a lower pressure, it offers a remarkably creamy, delicate effervescence. The wine undergoes extensive cellar aging to balance its striking mineral precision with rich notes of white flowers, fresh citrus, and brioche.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1827 in Reims by the Mumm brothers and their partners, Champagne G.H. Mumm is one of the most storied and prominent houses in the Champagne region of France. The house's legacy was cemented in 1876 when Georges Hermann Mumm introduced the iconic red silk ribbon across the bottle—inspired by the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour—crystallizing their enduring motto, 'Only the Best.' Anchored by extensive Grand Cru vineyard holdings, particularly in the Montagne de Reims, Mumm's winemaking philosophy highlights the structure, freshness, and power of Pinot Noir. The house is internationally celebrated for its vibrant flagship Cordon Rouge Brut, alongside sophisticated prestige bottlings such as Cuvée R. Lalou and the historic, mineral-rich Mumm de Cramant Blanc de Blancs.
