G.H. Mumm's Demi-Sec NV is a historical tribute to the 19th century, an era when Champagne was traditionally enjoyed with a much sweeter profile, highly favored by royal courts across Europe. Established in Reims in 1827, the house of G.H. Mumm crafts this cuvee with a deep respect for heritage. The blend is uniquely dominated by Pinot Meunier, a grape prized for its intense fruitiness and roundness, which is supported by the structure of Pinot Noir and the elegance of Chardonnay. With a generous dosage of around 40 grams of sugar per liter, this Champagne undergoes extensive cellar aging to harmonize its sweetness with vibrant acidity. The result is a beautifully balanced, rich sparkling wine that evokes nostalgic aromas of honey, candied fruits, and freshly baked brioche from Mumm's historic chalk cellars.
