Mumm Napa Brut Prestige (750Ml)

Description

Mumm Napa Brut Prestige is a California sparkling wine with French roots. The Champagne house G.H. Mumm founded Mumm Napa in 1979. The blend leans on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in almost equal parts. A small splash of Pinot Gris and Pinot Meunier rounds it out. It is a dry Brut with a light dosage of about 10 grams of sugar per liter.

The winemakers use the méthode traditionnelle. That means the bubbles form during a second fermentation inside each bottle. The wine then rests on its lees for about 16 months on average. That time gives you fine, steady bubbles and a softer, rounder texture. As a non-vintage cuvée, it aims for the same house style every year.

Pour a glass and you will see a pale gold color. The nose brings red apple, juicy pear, nectarine and ripe strawberry, with a hint of biscuit. On the palate you get apple, stone fruit and bright citrus. Soft touches of marzipan and toast sit underneath. The finish stays crisp and dry, lifted by fresh acidity.

Critics like it too. Mumm Napa lists 93-point scores for this bubbly from both Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator. That is a lot of praise for a bottle you can happily open on a Tuesday.

Serve it well chilled, around 43 to 46°F. It is a friendly match for sushi, creamy cheeses, hors d'oeuvres and roast chicken. It also makes a weekend brunch feel a little special. Keep a bottle in the fridge and you will be ready for any small win.
