✨ Technical Specifications
G.H. Mumm's Grand Cordon Brut Rosé is a vibrant expression of the house's historic style, which dates back to its founding in 1827. The iconic red sash, or 'Cordon Rouge', indented directly into the revolutionary glass bottle designed by Ross Lovegrove, pays tribute to the French Légion d'Honneur. This non-vintage cuvée is built on a foundation of Pinot Noir, typically around 60% and sourced from legendary villages such as Bouzy and Verzenay, which imparts structure and power. This is balanced by the elegance of Chardonnay and the round, fruity appeal of Pinot Meunier. To achieve its signature salmon-pink hue and intense red berry character, the chef de cave blends in a selection of fine still red wines. Aged for a minimum of two years on its lees, this Champagne marries the house's historic boldness with a contemporary, energetic freshness.
🍾 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.
