Mumm Cordon Rouge
G.H. Mumm returns as the official champagne at the 2024 Melbourne Cup Carnival. Scroll down to read more about this year’s Mumm Birdcage marquee, featuring our extraordinary Cordon Rouge.
Since 1876, the iconic cuvee with its bold red sash signals the start of a memorable moment: good times with good friends. Blended from a minimum of 100 crus, Mumm Cordon Rouge expresses the rich diversity of Champagne’s terroirs, always in the fresh, vibrant style that is the signature of Pinot Noir, the House’s emblematic grape. Made from a rich palette of more than 120 villages representing all the diversity of the Champagne region of France, Mumm Cordon Rouge is the signature cuvee of Maison Mumm. This exceptional brut champagne blends Mumm’s signature grape variety, Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and Aube; with Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, Sézannais, Vitryat and Aube; and Meunier from the Marne and Ardre valleys and the Montagne de Reims. Mumm Cordon Rouge is beautifully presented in an iconic bottle adorned with a red ribbon thathas paid homage to the Legion of Honour since 1876. Aged for a minimum of 20 months in Maison Mumm’s cellars, this wine is ideal as an aperitif among friends or a lazy Sunday brunch –those moments when everything simply clicks and positive energy flows: real friends sharing real talk, everyone at ease in a joyful, convivial atmosphere.

BREAKING NEW GROUND TO REVEAL THE ESSENCE OF PINOT NOIR
The story of Maison Mumm is one of legendary terroirs and of a bold, distinctive grape: Pinot Noir.
With its power and rich, elegant fruit, the black grape takes pride of place in the House’s classic blends, to which Chardonnay and Meunier grapes add their inimitable floral and fruity notes.

Behind the cuvée
In 1876, Georges Hermann Mumm took a cue from the Légion d’Honneur, France’s highest civilian award, and adorned his Brut cuvée with a red ribbon – a symbol of the champagne’s quality.
Later, in 1881, the ribbon was replaced by a label that displays the bold red sash known the world over. Instantly recognizable, the Cordon Rouge enjoys iconic status, symbol of Maison Mumm’s relentless pursuit of excellence.

With its golden colour enlivened by fine bubbles, Mumm Cordon Rouge reveals a gourmet nose with yellow and white fruit aromas enhanced by notes of tropical fruit such as lychee and pineapple. It starts out straightforward and powerful on the finish, offering elegant roundness and fruity overtones that mingle with caramel touches.
