Cordon Rouge

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

On the nose there are ripe and tropical fruits such as lychee and pineapple, along with vanilla and honey. The palate follows with 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 food. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass or a tulip. This version comes in a gift box.
