Very early in its history, Maison Mumm realised the importance of establishing a system to ensure the highest quality, supervising every stage in production, from grape-growing practices in all its vineyards to the crucial pressing process. It was founded by three brothers: Jacobus, Gottlieb and Phillip Mumm, German winemakers from the Rhine valley, along with G. Heuser and Friedrich Giesler on March 1, 1827, as P. A. Mumm Giesler et Co. P.A. were the initials of the Mumms' father, Peter Arnold Mumm, a successful wine merchant from Solingen. Mumm's label is famous for its red ribbon ( Cordon Rouge), patterned after and resembling the red sash of the Grand Cross ( Grand-croix)—formerly called Grand Ribbon ( Grand cordon)—the highest level of the French Legion of Honour.

The Millésime 2008 goes marvellously with sweet and sour dishes, such as pan-fried foie gras and apricot jelly or game, accompanied by caramelised quince, while the Millésime 2012 unveils all its qualities when paired with fish, shellfish, or tangy, fruity desserts, which enhance its freshness and minerality.

The House demonstrated its capacity for innovation as well as its strong commitment to terroir – one that has never wavered through the centuries – by setting up its wine presses directly in the vineyards, an innovation symbolising its commitment to quality that continues to this day. Thus in 1840, when the company acquired its first parcels situated in Verzenay, a wine press was built and installed at the same time, which is still in use today. Mumm Cordon Rouge is beautifully presented in an iconic bottle adorned with a red ribbon thathas paid homage to the Legion of Honour since 1876. Nearly two centuries after it was established, Georges Hermann Mumm’s vision continues to steer the House’s philosophy and the production of outstanding champagnes. This is reflected in Mumm’s strong attachment to the vineyards, respect for traditional expertise, and an innovative spirit, which guarantees the excellence of its wines. This vision defines the unique style of Mumm champagnes. Stretching over 30,000 hectares, the Champagne region benefits from a unique microclimate, marked by severe frosts during winter and plenty of sunshine in summer. These specific characteristics help preserve the finesse of the grapes and are propitious to optimal ripening. They also determine the personality of Mumm wines and define their aromatic complexity. The nature of this terroir, the richness of its subsoils and its specific microclimate, coupled with the House’s expertise, help produce unique wines, year after year. It is a relationship that has been nurtured over the years, as evidenced by the bottles produced by Mumm in the 19th century, personalised for leading restaurants and hotels. Even at that time, Mumm’s champagnes were regularly mentioned in publications featuring the views of leading arbiters of taste, which included the menus of receptions attended by society’s crème de la crème. The brand also maintained excellent relationships with the period’s prominent professional gourmet associations.Mumm Cordon Rouge is a symbol of the House’s expertise and the avant-garde spirit it has nurtured for nearly 200 years. This emblematic cuvée is now set within a red and gold case bearing the MUMM name in a new, resolutely modern graphic design.
