In 1876, as a tribute to some of their most prestigious clients, Mumm decorated a few of their bottles with a crossed red silk ribbon (a reference to the Legion of Honour) and sealed them with an oval label. The success of Cordon Rouge was established…As the Champagne des Souverains, so great was the fame of the Cordon Rouge wine that it became the symbol of the House and of champagne as a whole. The wine lovers of today continue to worship Mumm Cordon Rouge and have made the cuvee France’s premier and one of the world’s favourite champagnes. Georges Hermann Mumm is the man to whom we owe the House’s iconic cuvee. In 1876, to assert the quality of its champagne, the House decided to adorn their bottles with a red silk ribbon, a reference to the Ordre de Saint Louis and to the Grand Cordon de la Legion d’Honneur. Its success was immediate: a symbol of Maison Mumm’s excellence and expertise, the Cordon Rouge cuvee henceforth became a true benchmark all over the world.
Recipe
Ideal as an aperitif and beyond, Mumm Cordon Rouge works as well as an accompaniment to white meat, as it does to fish or fine cured meats (Italian ham, smoked duck breast). Mumm’s champagne rituals introduce 21st-century devotees to new ways of enjoying champagne. This cuvee fully expresses its aromas and structure when served at 8°C.
Producer
The combined dynamism of Chef de Caves Didier Mariotti and designer Ross Lovegrove has shaped a new, revolutionary Mumm Grand Cordon bottle, breaking with convention. This meeting of the minds created an optimal oenological shape with a long and slender neck to facilitate the development of aromas in the wine, combined with a powerful new statement celebrating the iconic red sash of the Maison: a genuine red ribbon indented into the glass.
