Grand Cordon

The Grand Cordon stands out even as a bottle: there is no front label, as G.H. Mumm's signature and the eagle are printed in gold directly onto the glass. The house's red cordon is embossed into the glass as a ribbon. According to the house, the distinctive shape also suits cellaring, during which the cuvée gains in complexity. The blend is led by powerful Pinot Noirs from the best crus, accompanied by fine Chardonnays and fruity Pinot Meunier.

In the glass it is clear and luminous. The nose recalls summer fruits, lychee and pineapple, with vanilla and honey alongside. On the palate, freshness meets a lovely length, and the finish is round and balanced. It can accompany a whole menu, for instance with white meat or fish. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass.
