Maison Mumm presents Mumm 6: a cuvée revolutionising the concept of mature champagne

March 2018Maison #Mumm presents #Mumm6: a cuvée revolutionising the concept of mature champagne

Maison #Mumm has broken established #champagne codes, releasing a new cuvée called #Mumm6 to redefine traditional perspectives on ageing. Tasting this rich and mature #champagne is a truly gastronomic experience thanks to the extended ageing on the lees in #Mumm cellars.

Mumm 6 is a striking modern reinterpretation of the ageing process that proves that top quality Brut #champagne attains perfection with time. The wine is clearly labelled to show the number of years spent on the lees rather than a specific vintage year, breaking the long held traditions of mature #champagne.

Mumm 6 reveals an astonishing balance between freshness and maturity. To attain peak perfection, Chef de caves #didiermariotti focuses on the vitality and longevity of rich #pinotnoir (over 70%) from the best vineyards on the Montagne de Reims. The blend is further refined with a touch of mineral #Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. After six years in the cellars the cuvée is rejuvenated with a special dosage liqueur from wine aged in oak barrels for eight months.

Chef de caves #didiermariotti comments “It’s the care taken in selecting the grape varieties at harvest time, a unique Pinot Noir/Chardonnay blend, and 72 months’ ageing that set #Mumm6 apart. Add to that the experience of tasting this cuvée, a mix of tradition and modernity which reveals a palette of unique aromatic complexity in the mouth.”

Mumm 6 has the brilliance of rich, old gold with complex aromas of yellow fruit marmalade – Mirabelle plum and apricot – giving way to gourmand notes of brioche and pastry cream with hints of spice. The palate is rich and delectable with ripe fruits, toasty flavours, a light dash of roasted vanilla and a long savoury finish.
Mumm 6 is best paired with game cooked in fruit, wild forest mushrooms or Reblochon cheese, or even a dessert such as caramelized apricots with vanilla crème.
