Cordon Rouge

The Cordon Rouge is Mumm's best-known cuvée, named after the red ribbon running diagonally across the bottle. It relies on contrasts that complement each other: power and freshness. For this, 77 crus are assembled: 45 % Pinot Noir, 30 % Chardonnay and 25 % Pinot Meunier. A share of 25 to 30 % reserve wine gives the Brut extra depth.

The nose shows ripe and tropical fruits such as lychee and pineapple, with vanilla and honey. On the palate come fresh fruit and a note of caramel, and the finish is long. It works as well as an aperitif as it does with fish, white meat or smoked dishes. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass or a tulip. This version comes in gift packaging.
