✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Named in honor of René Lalou, the legendary and visionary chairman who guided G.H. Mumm for nearly half a century, Cuvée Lalou represents the absolute pinnacle of the house's winemaking. Lalou was a passionate defender of terroir, and this prestige cuvée is crafted as a liquid tribute to his philosophy. It is sourced exclusively from a meticulous selection of historic, old-vine Grand Cru parcels within the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. The blend typically strikes a harmonious balance between the structural power of Pinot Noir and the mineral elegance of Chardonnay. After undergoing an exceptionally long maturation on its lees in the cool, subterranean chalk cellars of Reims, the wine emerges with extraordinary complexity, marrying vibrant citrus and white floral notes with rich, autolytic layers of toasted brioche, honey, and roasted nuts. It is a legendary cuvée that captures the soul of Champagne's finest terroirs.
🍾 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.
