A Champagne signature full of energy

• An iconic cuvée: created in 1876, Mumm Cordon Rouge expresses the heritage of a Reims house renowned for its lively, generous and precise style.
• Remarkable balance: Pinot Noir provides the structure, Chardonnay brings finesse and Meunier envelops the blend in harmonious roundness.
• A fresh, indulgent flavour profile: citrus, apple, yellow fruit, peach, apricot, fresh brioche and vanilla create a nuanced tasting experience.
• Elegant effervescence: lees ageing encourages fine, persistent bubbles, supporting a beautifully balanced texture.
• A gift ready to give: the Mumm gift box creates a refined presentation, ideal for a birthday, an invitation or a celebration.

Blending and winemaking

This Champagne AOC brut is made from a blend of approximately 45% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 25% Meunier. The grapes come mainly from classified crus in the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne, two major regions in the Champagne tradition. Pinot Noir gives the cuvée its power and depth, while Chardonnay brightens its profile with freshness. Meunier completes the blend with a softer, fruitier expression. Approximately 25% reserve wines contribute to the consistency of the style and its aromatic complexity. After a minimum of 20 months of cellar ageing, the Champagne reveals fine effervescence and a well-balanced body. Its brut dosage preserves the natural brightness of the fruit and the lively character that makes Cordon Rouge equally at home in a spontaneous moment or as part of a more ceremonial meal.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: pale gold, crossed by fine, persistent bubbles that lend the pour a bright and celebratory feel.
• Nose: elegant and expressive, with citrus, apple, yellow fruit and fresh brioche.
• Palate: the attack is lively, followed by a round and harmonious texture. Peach, apricot and vanilla lead to a long, fresh and slightly buttery finish.

Serving temperature and advice

Serve Mumm Cordon Rouge between 8 and 10°C, in a tulip-shaped glass. This shape allows the bouquet to unfold with greater precision than a coupe, while preserving the delicate movement of the bubbles. At this temperature, the citrus and yellow fruit notes retain their brightness, while the brioche and vanilla nuances gradually emerge. This Champagne can be enjoyed on its own to open the tasting with a touch of liveliness, or served throughout the meal when a versatile cuvée is desired. Store the bottle away from light, then let the occasion unfold: an aperitif with friends, a carefully set table or a toast to good news are all enough to bring out the full character of this cuvée.

Food pairings

• Apéritifs: cheese gougères, grilled prawns or caviar, highlighting its freshness and depth.
• Starters: salmon carpaccio, sea bream tartare or vegetable risotto, whose delicate textures complement its finesse.
• Main courses: roast poultry, sole fillet or veal sweetbreads in a cream sauce, complementing its roundness and structure.
• Cheeses: Brie, young Comté or fresh goat’s cheese, served in moderation to preserve the wine’s delicacy.
• Desserts: lemon shortbread, yellow fruit tart or madeleine, in a delicious dialogue with its fruity and brioche notes.

Occasions for enjoying

Mumm Cordon Rouge naturally belongs in moments that deserve to be celebrated with elegance. It accompanies a refined aperitif with friends, sets the tone for a family lunch or adds a touch of sparkle to a festive dinner. Thanks to its lively, fruity and harmonious profile, it is not limited to the opening toast: it continues throughout the meal, from the first bites to richer pairings. Its gift box also makes it an especially fitting choice when you want to give an iconic Champagne bottle without resorting to unnecessary embellishments. Balancing heritage with contemporary energy, this cuvée carries the spirit of Maison Mumm with an almost musical naturalness, where every note finds its place without ever overpowering the whole.
