The production of Grand Cordon G.H. Mumm champagne
Grand Cordon is a blended champagne, the result of a marriage of more than 100 crus. Pinot Noir dominates the blend, providing structure and intensity, complemented by Chardonnay for finesse and Pinot Meunier for roundness. Part of the reserve wines are aged in large oak casks, giving them unique complexity and aromatic richness.
The vinification process respects the emblematic style of G.H. Mumm. It is carried out in stainless steel vats to preserve maximum freshness. This champagne is then aged for 20 months in the cellar to develop its complexity and perfect balance. With a moderate dosage of 8 g/L, Grand Cordon presents a subtle balance between freshness and aromatic intensity.
