The production of G.H. Mumm's Cordon Rouge champagne
Cordon Rouge is made from a rigorous selection of over 77 crus, representing the diversity of the Champagne terroirs, notably the Montagne de Reims, the Côte des Blancs, and the Vallée de la Marne. The blend is dominated by 45% Pinot Noir, which brings structure and power, complemented by 30% Chardonnay for finesse and elegance, and 25% Pinot Meunier for its fruity roundness.
Each cru is vinified separately to preserve the identity of its terroir. The blend includes 25 to 30% reserve wines, aged for up to four years in vats, adding complexity and depth. The dosage, carefully controlled at 8 g/L, allows the freshness and intensity characteristic of the G.H. Mumm style to shine through.
