Elegant and bright, the 2015 RSRV Blanc de Blancs from Maison G.H. Mumm embodies the purity and finesse of Chardonnay from one of the most prestigious terroirs in Champagne. This exceptional vintage, made exclusively from grapes from the Grand Cru of Cramant, reveals a mineral and refined expression, enhanced by long aging in the cellar.
The 2015 vintage
The year 2015 in Champagne was marked by a hot, dry climate, providing optimal ripeness for the grapes. After a mild winter and an early spring, the summer was particularly sunny, with a few spells of drought. These conditions allowed the Chardonnays to develop beautiful aromatic concentration while maintaining well-balanced acidity. Harvested at perfect maturity, the grapes from the chalky terroir of Cramant give this cuvée an elegant minerality and vibrant freshness.
An exceptional Chardonnay from a unique terroir

- Chalky soil that promotes drainage and gives the wines great minerality.
- A temperate climate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly and gradually, preserving their freshness.
- Historic plots acquired by the Mumm House in 1882, guaranteeing an authentic expression of the terroir.
After a minimum of three years' aging in the cellar, this confidential cuvée benefits from a light dosage of 6 g/L, preserving its natural balance and aromatic purity.
