Mumm Cordon Rouge, the House’s signature cuvée, and Mumm Grand Cordon, presented in a bottle with an innovative design, epitomize Mumm’s philosophy of authenticity, avant-gardism and tradition. Only the best.” Georges Hermann Mumm’s motto could certainly also be that of the greatest chefs of today and yesterday. This shared mindset goes a long way to explaining the strength of the bond uniting Mumm’s champagnes and haute cuisine. Since 1876, the iconic cuvee with its bold red sash signals the start of a memorable moment: good times with good friends. Blended from a minimum of 100 crus, Mumm Cordon Rouge expresses the rich diversity of Champagne’s terroirs, always in the fresh, vibrant style that is the signature of Pinot Noir, the House’s emblematic grape.

Mumm has decided to celebrate this heritage with a champagne gift set collection, reinventing the art and pleasure of giving. Presented in an elegant case, these outstanding gifts will delight refined palates at new year’s celebrations, birthdays or any other special occasion. When all of these factors are combined to produce an exceptional vintage, the Cellar Master may decide to compose their blend exclusively from wines of the same vintage. The final blends are then placed in the cellar for a minimum of three years to fully express their aromas. These remarkable vintages will leave their mark on the history of the Mumm Champagne House.It was founded by three brothers: Jacobus, Gottlieb and Phillip Mumm, German winemakers from the Rhine valley, along with G. Heuser and Friedrich Giesler on March 1, 1827, as P. A. Mumm Giesler et Co. P.A. were the initials of the Mumms' father, Peter Arnold Mumm, a successful wine merchant from Solingen. Mumm's label is famous for its red ribbon ( Cordon Rouge), patterned after and resembling the red sash of the Grand Cross ( Grand-croix)—formerly called Grand Ribbon ( Grand cordon)—the highest level of the French Legion of Honour. It is a relationship that has been nurtured over the years, as evidenced by the bottles produced by Mumm in the 19th century, personalised for leading restaurants and hotels. Even at that time, Mumm’s champagnes were regularly mentioned in publications featuring the views of leading arbiters of taste, which included the menus of receptions attended by society’s crème de la crème. The brand also maintained excellent relationships with the period’s prominent professional gourmet associations. The chapel is decorated with frescos inspired by oriental art. The chapel was consecrated on 1 October 1966 and handed over to the City of Reims on 18 October 1966. The chapel was designated an historic monument in 1992. The robe’s golden-yellow hue, enlivened by a delicate stream of fine bubbles, extends a sparkling invitation to take a first sip. The House demonstrated its capacity for innovation as well as its strong commitment to terroir – one that has never wavered through the centuries – by setting up its wine presses directly in the vineyards, an innovation symbolising its commitment to quality that continues to this day. Thus in 1840, when the company acquired its first parcels situated in Verzenay, a wine press was built and installed at the same time, which is still in use today.
