Mumm, bringing traditional method winemaking to California's premier wine region. The Brut Prestige is built on a blend of 49% Pinot Noir, 46% Chardonnay, and 5% Pinot Gris and Pinot Meunier — a composition that tilts toward structure and red-fruit complexity while retaining freshness from its Chardonnay backbone. Each cuvée undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle, followed by an average of 16 to 18 months aging on the lees, then an additional three months aging on the cork to fully integrate the dosage with the base wine — a step that distinguishes it from many California sparkling wines in this category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with ripe red apple and juicy pear before moving into nectarine and strawberry.

That 3.00% residual sugar is not a shortcut to easy drinkability; it is a calibrated counterpoint to the firm acidity that 18 months of yeast aging and up to 50 vineyard sources deliver. The four-grape blend, including the relatively uncommon addition of Pinot Gris, adds a floral, aromatic dimension that a standard Chardonnay-Pinot Noir cuvée simply cannot replicate.
