G. H. Mumm Brut Cordon Rouge NV
Champagne, FranceCorrect fresh nose with bright baked pear, citrus nose and bits of chalky minerality. Crisp mid-palate with more honey lees and stony elements but the finish is touch dry and coarse. This will be best served with richer-style appetizers. If you didn’t know late in the 19th century, the label was decorated with the Cordon Rouge as a tribute to the French Légion d’Honneur. Mumm adds 25 to 30% reserve wine stored in wood for to up four years. The complexity comes from the 77 crus that go into the 45/30/25 blend of pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier.Tasted: 10 December 2015Tasted by: Prices:BC | $57.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
