Mumm RSRV Blanc de Blancs 2015 Champagne: Elegance Worth Celebrating
Champagne 12% ABV ABV MummSolid blanc de blancs
I've been getting into champagne lately and the guy at my local wine shop pointed me towards this. Really elegant stuff — you get that classic Chardonnay freshness but with a nutty, bready depth underneath. The finish goes on forever too. Would definitely buy again.
Good not great
Saw this on a restaurant menu and thought I'd try it. It's a well-made champagne for sure — creamy, appley, nice dry finish. But I've had Mumm before and expected to be blown away at this price point. It's good, just not sure it's fifty quid good when their regular stuff is half that.
Birthday treat that delivered
Bought this for my 40th and honestly it was the highlight of the evening. The bubbles are so creamy and smooth, and there's this lovely baked apple thing going on that I wasn't expecting from a champagne. At fifty quid it's not cheap but for a special occasion? Absolutely worth it.
Perfect for our anniversary dinner
My wife loves champagne so I grabbed this for our anniversary. She said it tasted like peaches and fresh bread which I thought was weirdly specific but she was right. Really smooth and dry without being harsh. We finished the bottle embarrassingly fast.
Nice but bit pricey for what it is
Had this at a friend's dinner party and it was good, don't get me wrong. Lovely lemony citrus notes and nice fine bubbles. But for £50 I think there are champagnes that give you a bit more bang for your buck. I'd maybe pick it up if it was on offer.
Went down a storm at Christmas
Picked up two bottles for Christmas day and everyone loved it. Really rich and layered for a blanc de blancs, with hazelnut and citrus coming through. Even my dad who normally drinks lager said it was lovely. The 2015 vintage clearly had some proper time to develop.
This one surprised me
I usually just grab whatever prosecco is on sale so £50 on a champagne felt mad. But wow, this is genuinely a step up. There's an almond and chalky thing on the finish that just lingers. Made me feel quite fancy on a Tuesday night.
