Mumm Cordon Rouge – The emblem of celebratory champagne

For over 140 years, Mumm Cordon Rouge has been the symbol of Champagne excellence. Created in 1876, this legendary cuvée is distinguished by its famous red ribbon, inspired by the French Legion of Honour. It perfectly expresses the Mumm style — energetic, precise and generous — combining the strength of Pinot Noir, the elegance of Chardonnay and the roundness of Meunier.

Blend and Winemaking

Mumm Cordon Rouge is composed of approximately 45% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 25% Meunier, sourced primarily from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne. Around 25% of reserve wines are added to the blend to ensure consistency and aromatic complexity. Aged for a minimum of 20 months on lees, it develops a fine mousse and balanced structure. The Brut dosage enhances its natural freshness and fruity richness.

Tasting Notes

The color is bright golden with a stream of fine, persistent bubbles. The nose opens with aromas of citrus, yellow fruit, apple and fresh brioche. On the palate, the attack is lively, followed by a round, harmonious texture. Flavors of peach, apricot and vanilla unfold beautifully into a fresh, buttery finish.

Serving Temperature and Tasting Advice

Serve between 8 and 10°C. Enjoy as a pure expression of Mumm’s vibrant style, perfect for aperitifs or throughout a meal. Use a tulip glass to appreciate its aromatic depth and liveliness. Presented in its refined gift box, it is also an elegant choice for gifting and celebration.
