The Grand Cordon is the cuvée of excellence bythe Maison Mumm. A new icon in the world of champagne awarded with the gold medal at the Gillbert & Gaillard International Wine Competition, an expression of audacity and absolute elegance.
The Mumm brothers founded the historic Champagne Maison in Reims in 1827, but we find traces of it in a far more distant past when Peter Arnold Mumm began his activity as a winemaker in Cologne, Germany in 1761. It was his sons who realized the potential of the wine produced in the Champagne region in France in the early nineteenth century where they moved there giving life to this exciting story. Today G.H. Mumm has 218 hectares of which 160 are classified as Grand Crus, and represent the best terroirs of the entire region. The history of this Maison is characterized by illustrious practices, later adopted as a reference, such as the installation of presses in the vineyards to minimize the damage caused by transporting the grapes. There have been many royal families conquered by the illustrious brand, including Queen Elizabeth II, and official gifts such as that of the French Legion of Honor celebrated by the same Cordon Rouge, the red ribbon symbolically affixed to the bottle.
The Grand Cordon Champagne already stands out from its appearance, the bottle designed by designer Ross Lovegrove. Fine and persistent perlage, the aroma of fresh fruit, pineapple, white peach, apricot, then giving way to vanilla, caramel and ginger. On the palate the taste is rich, pleasantly fresh until a long and intense closing. Extremely elegant champagne with attention to every detail.
