✨ Technical Specifications
The G.H. Mumm RSRV Foujita Rose Brut is a prestigious cuvee that beautifully marries the worlds of fine art and exceptional winemaking. Named in honor of the acclaimed Japanese-French artist Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita, a close friend of legendary Mumm president Rene Lalou, this Champagne features the iconic rose fresco designed by the artist in 1957. Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru terroirs, the blend is dominated by Pinot Noir from historic villages such as Verzenay, Bouzy, and Ambonnay, which provides structure and rich red fruit character, complemented by the elegance of Chardonnay from Cramant and Avize. A portion of still red wine from Bouzy is blended in to impart its delicate salmon-pink hue and vinous complexity. Aged on its lees for at least four years, this Champagne represents a historic tradition of reserving the house's finest bottles for a select circle of friends.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Reims in 1827 by the German winemaking Mumm family, Maison G.H. Mumm has long stood as an archetype of Pinot Noir-driven Champagne excellence. The estate oversees nearly 218 hectares of premier vineyards, anchored in historic Grand Cru terroirs across the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, including prime holdings in Verzenay, Mailly, Bouzy, and Ambonnay. These sites benefit from porous Campanian chalk subsoils, optimal solar aspects, and a cool semi-continental climate, yielding grapes with remarkable structure, energy, and tension. Operating under strict Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne (VDC) and Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) certifications, the house eliminated chemical herbicides across estate parcels. Winemaking emphasizes precise parcel-by-parcel vinification in stainless steel, partial blocking of malolactic fermentation to retain vibrant acidity, and extensive aging in 25 kilometers of subterranean chalk cellars. Landmark expressions include the universally recognized Cordon Rouge, the prestigious terroir-focused RSRV collection, and the pinnacle Cuvée R. Lalou.
