About Champagne Mumm: While it may be true that nature has been kind to the Champagne region, it is also true that man, with his own know how, boldness, and above all persistence, has managed to get the very best out of this unique terroir. It took him 300 years, in which he faced the toughest of tests, to give the planet this symbol of celebration and shared enjoyment. The history of the House of Mumm covers a century and a half of passion, dynamism and the pursuit of excellence. It is this tradition that has given rise to the renowned and worldwide appreciation of Mumm and the Cordon Rouge.
