Cordon Rouge is the house's flagship cuvée, built from a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay sourced from over 100 crus across the Champagne appellation. A portion of the reserve wines is aged in oak vats to build aromatic complexity, and 25% to 30% reserve wine is folded into each assemblage. The dosage sits at roughly 8 grams per liter, keeping the wine firmly in brut territory. The magnum format — 1.5 liters — allows for a slower, more even secondary fermentation in bottle, which typically results in finer bubbles and deeper integration of flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e An attractive golden hue in the glass gives way to honeysuckle, sweet yellow peach, and white floral notes.

A portion of the reserve wines is aged in oak vats, contributing added aromatic complexity before the final assemblage. The wine spends a minimum of 20 months aging on lees in Mumm's cellars beneath Reims.

Mumm was founded in 1827 in Reims, in the heart of the Champagne region, and is now part of the Pernod Ricard portfolio. Cordon Rouge is made by the traditional method (\u003cem\u003eméthode champenoise\u003c\/em\u003e) from a Pinot Noir-led blend — 45% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 25% Pinot Meunier — and aged on its lees for a minimum of 20 months. What distinguishes this cuvée from many non-vintage competitors is the inclusion of 25–30% oak-aged reserve wines in the final blend, lending aromatic complexity and structural depth that go beyond what you typically find at this tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe white peach and apricot lead the nose, followed by subtle floral notes and a layer of honeyed sweetness.

At mid-palate, candied lemon peel and grated ginger build complexity, while the reserve-wine component contributes a toasty richness with dried apricot and nut undertones.
