✨ Technical Specifications
Established in Reims in 1827, G.H. Mumm is one of Champagne's most legendary houses, famous for its iconic 'Cordon' design inspired by the French Legion of Honour. While modern palates often lean dry, the Cordon Vert Demi-Sec is a luscious homage to the 19th century, an era when Champagne was traditionally enjoyed with a much sweeter profile. The 'Cordon Vert' (Green Ribbon) distinguishes this demi-sec style, which features a generous dosage of around 40 grams of sugar per liter. The blend is historically crafted with a dominant share of Pinot Meunier, prized for its roundness and intense fruitiness, supported by Pinot Noir for structure and Chardonnay for a touch of elegant acidity. Aged in Mumm's historic chalk cellars, this cuvée beautifully balances rich sweetness with a refreshing, lively 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.
