✨ Technical Specifications
Established in Reims in 1827, G.H. Mumm has long been synonymous with celebration and triumph. The iconic Cordon Rouge, adorned with the red sash of the French Legion of Honour since 1876, found its ultimate high-octane showcase as the official champagne of Formula 1 podiums for decades. This Limited Edition Black Label F1 pays homage to that thrilling heritage of speed and victory. Crafted primarily from Pinot Noir, which provides structure and power, the blend is balanced by the elegance of Chardonnay and the round fruitiness of Pinot Meunier. Sourced from dozens of distinct Champagne crus, the wine undergoes traditional bottle fermentation and is aged on its lees for a minimum of 30 months, resulting in a complex profile of fresh yellow stone fruits, brioche, and a signature crisp, mineral finish.
🍾 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.
