Champagne

After a cold winter and spring with plenty of frosts, temperatures began to warm through May and early June. However the end of the month turned fresh again, extending the flowering period by almost two weeks. July was dry and moderately hot, but temperatures dropped again in August. Luckily the warmth returned in September and by harvest the grapes had attained a perfect balance of sugar and acidity.

The Belle Epoque Rosé 2010 is an exceptional cuvée from the prestige collection of Perrier-Jouët. Crafted only in remarkable vintages, this wine is the result of a year of nature’s generosity. Spring was blighted by late frosts in April that decimated many Crus across the region, but luckily Perrier-Jouët’s vineyards escaped unscathed. In June the weather turned much hotter, enabling flowering to take place successfully during the last two weeks of the month. The whole region based in a heatwave in July, punctuated by a few violent storms, before the weather turned cooler and wetter in August. But luckily nature was kind and September brought perfect weather to enable the grapes to fully ripen in time for the harvest.

The cuvée Belle Epoque 2012 is the fruit of an astonishing year marked by a very mild winter and an exceptional spring. The temperatures in April, worthy of a summer month, caused the vines to flower early. Although the summer got off to a rainy start with low temperatures for the time of year, the sun’s return in August allowed the grapes to ripen fully, leading to an early harvest and an especially generous vintage.

Blason Rosé is a rich, full-bodied wine presenting a polished harmony of red-berry, pomegranate and blood-orange aromas punctuated by subtle floral notes. A champagne that blends freshness and intensity.

Like Mumm Cordon Rouge, the Mumm Rosé cuvée is blended from 77 crus. This champagne has a relatively pale salmon pink colour with light orange highlights and abundant bubbles that explode to create a fine and lively head. A mid aromas of fruits of the forest and pink grapefruit, individual hints of strawberry, cherry and redcurrant dominate and expand into delicate scents of caramelised vanilla. A lively, dynamic attack reminiscent of fruits of the forest, and a freshness that is elegant, fine and subtle.

To satisfy its British customers, from 1846 Perrier-Jouët added only a very limited dosage to its wines. It was the first House to experiment with producing dry Champagnes, giving birth to the legendary Brut style in 1856. In line with this tradition, the Grand Brut cuvée, the most popular champagne within the Perrier-Jouët collection, embodies the floral, elegant and diamond cut style of the House inviting you to discover the richness of its exceptional wines and terroir.

In 1876, as a tribute to some of their most prestigious clients, Mumm decorated a few of their bottles with a crossed red silk ribbon (a reference to the Legion of Honour) and sealed them with an oval label. The success of Cordon Rouge was established… As the Champagne des Souverains, so great was the fame of the Cordon Rouge wine that it became the symbol of the House and of champagne as a whole. The wine lovers of today continue to worship Mumm Cordon Rouge and have made the cuvée France's premier and one of the world's favourite champagnes. Georges Hermann Mumm is the man to whom we owe the House's iconic cuvée. In 1876, to assert the quality of its champagne, the House decided to adorn their bottles with a red silk ribbon, a reference to the Ordre de Saint Louis and to the Grand Cordon de la Légion d'Honneur. Its success was immediate: a symbol of Maison Mumm's excellence and expertise, the Cordon Rouge cuvée henceforth became a true benchmark all over the world.
