Cult Wines International Notes:

The 1976 G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge Brut is a celebrated vintage champagne that emerged from a historically hot and sunny year in the Champagne region. This vintage, marked by a heatwave, led to an exceptionally early harvest of rich, perfectly ripe grapes, which produced a wine of great aromatic depth and structure.

Despite its age, this champagne has proven its longevity, defying initial concerns about its low acidity. On the nose, it presents evolved aromas with dominant tertiary notes of dried fruits, honey, and spices, which are characteristic of a well-aged vintage. The palate is expected to be velvety and mature, with a more discreet effervescence and complex flavors that are a testament to its age.

The 1976 G.H. Mumm is considered a collector’s item, embodying the history and elegance of the Maison Mumm. Its bold and powerful character, a direct result of the specific vintage conditions, makes it a rare and highly sought-after example of a rich and beautifully aged champagne. Due to its evolved notes and mature structure, it pairs exceptionally well with rich dishes like mature cheeses, truffle-based cuisine, or desserts with dried fruits.
