THE BRAND
With a heritage of almost two centuries behind it, the House of GH MUMM, created in 1827, still aspires to the original ambitions of the great Georges Hermann Mumm, one of the father figures of the House. His passion was to obtain the best possible quality for GH Champagnes MUMM: he was often heard to say "Only the Best". In 1875, he decided to decorate each of his bottles with the highly prized Cordon Rouge or red belt of the Legion of Honor, the highest French civilian distinction, created by Napoleon I. Beyond the symbol of excellence that it represents, the Cordon Rouge embodies the true spirit that drives the House: the quest for perfection, the spirit of adventure and panache. Mumm is today one of the largest producers of champagne in the world, famous for its red ribbon - the Cordon Rouge inspired by and resembling the French Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honor. Popular Mumm Champagne bottles include Champagne Mumm Rosé and Mumm Cordon Rouge. In January, Laurent Fresnet joined the Maison Mumm team ready to share his wisdom on his two greatest passions: terroir and wine. He intends to perpetuate the Maison’s renowned know-how and ensure that their 200-year-old style is treated with the utmost respect. “Maison Mumm gives me the chance to devote myself exclusively to wine but also to meet those who drink it and share my pleasure with them, which is essential to me” - Laurent Fresnet, Cellar Master at Maison Mumm.
