First Impressions
Mumm RSRV Blanc de Blancs 2015 Champagne arrives at £50.95, positioning it in the mid-to-premium bracket where quality must shine. 75cl / 12% - The 2015-vintage RSRV Blanc de Blancs Champagne from Maison Mumm is made exclusively with Grand Cru grapes from the beautifully chalky soils of Cramant - a Grand Cru.
France's winemaking heritage needs no introduction, but the best producers continue to find new ways to express their terroir while honouring centuries of tradition. Mumm is a name worth knowing in this context.
On the Nose and Palate
The nose offers delicate nose of white peach, fresh bread, and a hint of chalk and lemon curd. Moving to the palate, the wine is rich and layered, offering baked apple, hazelnut, and a creamy mousse with a dry mineral core. The finish is lingering and refined, with a final note of almond, citrus, and a dry mineral finish.
Food Pairing and Serving
Equally at home as an aperitif or alongside seafood, sushi, or delicate canapés. Serve at 8-10°C in proper flutes or, better yet, white wine glasses to appreciate the full bouquet.
