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.
The style of every Mumm Cordon Rouge cuvee is a constant, subtle balance of freshness and intensity. 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. 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).
