Food Matching Note:
Perfect with grilled fish or roast meat to tantalise your taste buds, or simply make a toast to life... This is a Mumm Cordon Rouge moment.
Tasting Note:
Bright white gold in colour with a fine and consistent perlage and a clean, subtle nose. The palate is packed with rich yellow peach and apricot flavours with subtle hints of toasted nuts, yeast and hints of vanilla. Finishes elegant, lengthy and dry.
'Funky' Tasting Note:
Yellow peach, apricot and toasted nut flavours abound on this Pinot Noir dominated, fresh and clean Champagne.
Vinification Note:
The wines from each cru are carefully blended together and then complemented with between 10 and 20% reserve wines from the G.H. MUMM stocks to add maturity and richness to the complexity of the fi nal cuvée. These reserve wines are kept in vats for two, three or even four years and some are aged on the lees for added body and fl avour. The wine is then bottled to undergo the secondary fermentation, following which it matures in the cellars for at least three years before disgorgement. Finally, the liqueur de dosage, comprising several still wines, some aged for at least two years in stainless steel vats, with around 10 g/l of sugar, is added to bring out the full character of the Cordon Rouge blend.
