✨ Tekniske specifikationer
G.H. Mumm's Cordon Rouge Millésimé is a prestigious expression of a single exceptional harvest, capturing the unique climate and character of a specific year. Established in 1827, the house of Mumm introduced the iconic red silk ribbon—the Cordon Rouge—in 1876 as a tribute to the French Légion d'Honneur. This vintage cuvée is crafted with a dominant proportion of Pinot Noir, primarily sourced from the historic Grand Cru villages of the Montagne de Reims such as Verzenay and Bouzy, which imparts structure, power, and rich red-fruit notes. Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs is blended in to provide elegance, minerality, and vibrant acidity. Following traditional Méthode Champenoise, the wine undergoes extended cellar aging on its lees for several years, far exceeding the appellation's legal requirements. This patient maturation develops a complex aromatic profile of brioche, toasted nuts, and ripe stone fruits, underpinned by a fine, persistent effervescence that reflects the chalky soils of Champagne.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Champagne G.H. Mumm blev grundlagt i Reims i 1827 af Mumm-brødrene og deres partnere og hører til blandt de mest legendariske og fremtrædende huse i Champagne. Husets ikoniske status blev for alvor slået fast i 1876, da Georges Hermann Mumm prydede flaskerne med det berømte røde silkebånd – inspireret af Æreslegionens Grand Cordon – som et symbol på husets urokkelige motto: »Kun det bedste«. Med solide rødder i omfattende Grand Cru-besiddelser, særligt på Montagne de Reims, bygger Mumms vinstil på Pinot Noir-druens struktur, friskhed og kraftfulde karakter. Huset er verdenskendt for sin livlige signaturcuvée, Cordon Rouge Brut, samt sofistikerede prestigetapninger som Cuvée R. Lalou og den historiske, mineralske Mumm de Cramant Blanc de Blancs.
