Mumm Cordon Rouge Rosé

Mumm Cordon Rouge Rosé is a striking expression of French rosé champagne craftsmanship, delivering vibrant red fruit character and fine mousse that champagne enthusiasts and those seeking a thoughtful gift will genuinely appreciate. This prestigious cuvée from Maison Mumm carries forward a tradition dating back to the 19th century, when the house produced a wine known as “oeil-de-perdrix” in reference to the delicate pink hue around a partridge’s eye. The blend showcases approximately 15% red wines, notably Pinot Noir from Grand Cru appellations including Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Verzenay, alongside Meunier from the Ardre Valley and still red wines from Les Riceys.

Awarded 92 points by Wine Spectator, this elegant rosé champagne demonstrates exceptional quality from one of Champagne’s most renowned houses. The blend method combines the classic maceration technique with bold notes of forest fruits, creating intensity and depth that distinguishes this bottling from standard rosé champagnes. Maison Mumm ranks fourth globally among champagne houses based on bottles sold, with a lineage established in Reims in 1827.

Nose: Beautiful red fruit aromatics dominate from the first encounter, with rose petals, fresh strawberries, and candied berries leading to secondary notes of camembert, Mandarin orange peel, and delicate floral undertones that reveal the wine’s complexity.

Palate: A full-bodied structure carries baked raspberry, fresh red currants, and strawberry flavours across a sleek, creamy texture, with attractive phenolics providing tension and the fine mousse delivering refinement. Smoky hints of grilled nut and toasted brioche provide a rich foundation, while briny oyster shell notes add a savoury dimension.

Finish: The wine concludes with refreshing length, maintaining its fruity intensity while the brioche and grilled nut characteristics linger, creating a well-structured conclusion that invites another sip.

Pair this rosé champagne with oysters, salmon gravlax, or roasted duck breast to complement its fruit-forward profile and savoury undertones.

Serve chilled between 7-9°C in proper champagne flutes to showcase the fine mousse and aromatic complexity.

This champagne suits celebratory moments, makes an impressive gift for wine collectors, and brings elegance to dinner parties where quality sparkling wine is called for. A sophisticated choice for those who appreciate French champagne with distinctive rosé character and the heritage of a globally recognised maison.
