Mumm Cordon Espumante

Description

“The Mumm Cordon Rouge – it’s the sort of champagne you expect to see in a particularly dramatic war movie, and with a suitably noble lineage courtesy of the Legion d'Honneur. Crafted from at least 100 *cru*s, meaning it’s bottled with grapes from a dizzying array of villages, its identity is delightfully enigmatic. Expect a brunch experience that’s far more ambitious than your average Sunday morning indulgence. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier intertwine beautifully, all supported by a minimum of 20 months ageing in the Maison’s cellars. Critics – including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Jancis Robinson – have awarded it a respectable 93/100, confirming its remarkably complex character, with notes of lychee, pineapple, and a surprising hint of praline. The vibrant acidity and persistent effervescence are simply superb, and it’s a fantastic partner for white meats or seafood. A decidedly successful choice, wouldn’t you agree?”
