Description

About G. H. Mumm Grand Cordon Brut Champagne

A classic champagne with modern style
Founded in Reims in 1827, G.H. Mumm has built its reputation on quality, boldness and its signature red sash (cordon) on the bottle. The Grand Cordon represents the house’s flagship NV Brut expression, combining freshness with structure.

Key Details

• Blend & Grape Composition: Typical estimates are ~45% Pinot Noir, ~30% Chardonnay and ~25% Pinot Meunier.

• Style & Vinification: Non-vintage cuvée, blending multiple harvests and reserve wines to achieve consistency and depth.

• Tasting Profile:

  • Appearance: Golden yellow with a fine and persistent bubble stream.

  • Aroma: Fresh orchard and stone fruits (peach, apricot), tropical hints (pineapple), subtle vanilla & caramel from reserve wines.

  • Palate: Smooth and lively—fruit-driven, balanced acidity, with notes of citrus, brioche and nuts; finishes long and elegant.

Why it stands out

• The Grand Cordon is defined by its bold Pinot Noir backbone—giving it more structure and depth than some typical NV champagnes.

• The bottle design itself is distinctive, with the red cordon moulded into the glass by designer Ross Lovegrove—making it visually impactful.

• Versatile enough for an aperitif or paired with a meal—splendid for special occasions, events or as a premium gift.

Serving & Pairing Tips

• Serve chilled at around 8-10 °C—use a tulip or white-wine style glass to allow the aromas and bubbles to show.

• Pair with: fresh shellfish (oysters, scallops), white fish carpaccio, smoked salmon, grilled poultry, or soft cheeses with light character.

• Store upright in a cool, dark place; ideally consumed within the next few years for optimal freshness, though quality NV from Mumm may hold well for some time with good storage.
