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.

The house is celebrated for its Pinot Noir-dominant style, sourcing grapes from prime Grand Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and C$te des Blancs to craft structured, fresh, and complex cuv&es. Its legendary portfolio includes the flagship Cordon Rouge, the prestigious Cuv&e Ren& Lalou, and the elegant, single-terroir Mumm de Cramant Blanc de Blancs.
