The production of G.H. Mumm's RSRV 4.5 champagne
The RSRV 4.5 cuvée is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, sourced from the iconic Grand Cru terroirs of Verzenay, Bouzy, Aÿ, Cramant, and Avize. Each terroir is pressed and vinified separately to preserve its unique character. The wines are then blended with 20% reserve wines, adding depth and complexity. The cuvée is dosed at 6 g/L, providing a subtle balance between acidity and sweetness. Aged for at least four years in the house's historic cellars, it reveals all the richness of its Grand Cru origins.
Five Grand Crus
The Grand Cru terroirs of Verzenay, Bouzy, Aÿ, Cramant, and Avize are located in the heart of the most prestigious regions of Champagne. Verzenay, nestled on the Montagne de Reims, is distinguished by its chalky soil, which gives the Pinot Noir grapes aromatic intensity and remarkable structure. Bouzy, also on the Montagne de Reims, is renowned for its powerful Pinot Noir grapes, with rich fruity notes and beautiful complexity. Further west, Aÿ embodies the history and tradition of Champagne, with limestone soils that produce wines that are both structured and elegant. On the Côte des Blancs, Cramant and Avize stand out for their Chardonnays of incomparable finesse. Their chalky soils and ideal exposure produce grapes that express lively freshness, subtle minerality, and delicate floral aromas. Together, these terroirs form the foundation of the RSRV 4.5 cuvée.
