G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge Champagne (750Ml)

Description

G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge is the house's classic brut Champagne. Maison Mumm dates back to 1827, and its red ribbon has long been the house symbol. Mumm now sells this wine under the name Grand Cordon.

Pinot Noir leads the blend at about 45%, giving structure and power. Chardonnay adds elegance and Meunier brings fruit. The grapes come from more than 100 crus, and some reserve wines age in oak vats. The wine then rests about two and a half years in the cellars before release.

In the glass you see a golden color and fine, lively bubbles. The nose brings ripe peach, apricot and pineapple. Vanilla, pastry, dried fruit and honey follow. On the palate it is structured and fresh, with intense fruit and a long, lively finish.

Cordon Rouge has picked up a shelf of medals. It won Gold at the Global Sparkling Masters in 2018 and Silver at the International Wine Challenge that year. It also took Silver at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in 2019 and 2020, and Silver at Decanter in 2020.

Pour it well chilled as an aperitif. At 12% ABV it stays light and fresh. It goes nicely with oysters, white fish, chicken or cured ham. Keep a bottle ready for toasts, weddings and any night that calls for bubbles.
