Mumm Cordon Rouge Champagne
Champagne 12.5% ABV ABV MummProper champagne taste
The guy at my local wine shop recommended this and he wasn't wrong. You get that lovely brioche-y smell when you pour it, and it's got a really clean citrusy finish that keeps you going back for more. Great with some cheese and crackers on a Friday night.
Bit pricey but decent
Saw this on a restaurant menu and decided to try a bottle from the shop instead. It's refreshing with a nice mineral edge and some green apple notes. Tastes good but I'm not 100% convinced it's worth the premium over something like a crémant. Would happily drink it again if someone else was buying though!
My go-to celebration fizz
Bought this for my partner's birthday and we both loved it. Really nice toasty, biscuity thing going on with fresh apple flavours — genuinely impressive for a non-vintage champagne. At around £36 it's not cheap but it feels worth it for special occasions.
Reliable and classy
I keep coming back to Mumm whenever I need a bottle for something. It's got layers to it — peachy fruit, a bit of apple, and that toasty quality that makes it feel like proper champagne rather than just fizzy wine. The finish lingers nicely too. Solid choice around the £36 mark.
Good but not blown away
Had this at a friend's dinner party and it was perfectly nice. Crisp and lemony with a bit of creaminess to it. I enjoyed it but honestly not sure I'd pick it over a decent prosecco at half the price for everyday drinking.
