Mumm's Methuselah of Champagne - G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge Champagne is a large bottle champagne 600cl equivalent to 8 normal 75cl bottles. The Cordon rouge is made from a blend of 50 different wines producing a fresh bursting with citrus fruits.
The man who would eventually give his initials to the House is also the man to whom we owe its iconic cuvée. As a winemaker, Georges Hermann Mumm was driven by a single motto: "only the best".
In 1875, in tribute to the wine on which the reputation of the House is founded, he decided to ornament the bottle with a red silk ribbon, a symbol of the highest of French honours, the Ordre Royal et Militaire de Saint Louis then the Grand Cordon de la Légion d'Honneur.
Mumm Champagne's Methuselah 600cl of Champagne is presented in a wooden box with the Mumm logo - unusually painted on in colour.
Methuselah comes from the biblical name of Noah's grandfather.
Impressive gift of a much loved Champagne.
