G H Mumm - Le Rose Champagne

The style: over to the Cellar Master “An elegant, delicate cuvee that epitomises the Champagne terroir and the inimitable style of G.H.MUMM”.

The history Foujita's rose: When opening a bottle of G.H.MUMM Brut Rosé, the wine lover will be surprised to discover a beautifully drawn rose. This is the work of Léonard Foujita, a Franco-Japanese artist and close friend of the legendary President of the House, René Lalou. The two men shared the same taste for fine things and the same spiritual values. When René Lalou was seeking a symbol to represent the G.H.MUMM Brut Rosé cuvée, he naturally turned to the man whose style he so admired.

The Elaboration: In keeping with the Champagne legacy, the House produces a Brut rosé that recalls the iconic Cordon Rouge. The Cellar Master selects the 12% to 14% of red wines from villages famed for their pinots, such as Bouzy, Verzenay or Riceys on the Côte des Bar. Once the balance is achieved by the addition of reserve wines, the final blend is dominated by Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with the addition of Pinot Meunier.
