Mumm Brut Cordon Rouge NV
QUICK SUMMARY
You may have seen it in clubs or promoted by Usain Bolt. Maybe at the F1 or ski resorts. The Mumm brand is synonymous with partying and they have done a good job of moving on from the quality issues of the past. The red sash is now displayed with pride.

WHAT MUMM BRUT CORDON ROUGE NV TASTES LIKE
Acidity
Interestingly if you drink this wine cold, it’s overly tangy and acidic. It actually gets much better at warmer temperatures
Smooth
Subtle
Not a huge wine. Easy drinking and approachable
Full
Brevity
This Champagne is on the lighter, fruitier side and thus don’t expect a lingering taste past some reserve wine hints
Length
Savoury
At only 8g/L this is surprisingly one of the least sugary mass produced NV’s on the market.
Sweet
Fruitness
I’ll admit that they actually do a good job of preserving the fruity characteristics of this wine, hints of biscuit but nothing perceptual to the average drinker
Biscuittyness
Earth
There’s a dominant soda lime start to the wine and a soft minerality throughout.
Limestone / chalk
