G.H. Mumm's Cordon Rouge is one of the most iconic symbols of Champagne, instantly recognizable by its bold red sash—a tribute to the French Légion d'Honneur established in 1876. Founded in Reims in 1827, the house established a motto of 'Only the Best.' This non-vintage Brut is a masterclass in blending, typically dominated by Pinot Noir which provides structure and power, balanced by the elegance of Chardonnay and the round, fruity appeal of Pinot Meunier. Sourced from over 100 different crus and incorporating up to 30% reserve wines for consistency, the cuvée is aged for at least 20 to 30 months on its lees, resulting in a fresh, vibrant Champagne characterized by aromas of white peaches, citrus, and toasted brioche.
