Produced by G. H. Mumm & Cie, one of the world’s largest and most respected champagne houses ranked fourth globally by volume, this cuvée is dominated by Pinot Noir sourced from top crus across the Champagne region. The blend prioritizes structure and power, resulting in a champagne with bright lemon-yellow hues and a vibrant mousse. Awarded 92 points by Tastings.com and 90 points by Wine Spectator, this expression has earned recognition for its balance and purity.

Nose: Delicate aromas of crisp green apple and orchard fruit lead the way, with subtle touches of cherry marzipan, raspberry nougat, and mandarin orange adding complexity. The profile is clean and sappy rather than heavily yeasty, offering a fresh and approachable introduction.

Palate: Fruity and expressive, the palate echoes the nose with notes of red and yellow apple, pineapple, and a hint of mint that brings an unexpected twist to the classic champagne profile. The texture is creamy with a bright acidity that keeps the wine lively and balanced, while a gentle sweetness rounds out the fruit-forward character.

Finish: The finish carries a slight phenolic edge with drying tannins and a salty, savoury quality that makes you salivate and invites another sip. It’s moderately long with persistent fruit notes that linger without overwhelming.

Pair Mumm Grand Cordon with fresh oysters, goat’s cheese, or delicate fish dishes to complement its bright acidity and fruit-driven profile.

Serve chilled at 8 to 10 degrees Celsius in a standard wine glass rather than a narrow flute to fully appreciate the aromatic complexity.

This champagne suits celebrations, thoughtful gifting, or sharing at the dinner table with guests who appreciate a champagne that balances heritage with a contemporary edge.

Mumm Grand Cordon is ideal for those seeking a champagne with character and pedigree that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
