Mumm Champagne
What and Where: The days are gone when Mumm Cordon Rouge was one of the cheapest non-vintages; so too is the era when it tasted of boiled cabbage and sour cream. A makeover has put quality back in the bottle and tied the sponsership knot with mountaineers and explorers.
What does it taste like now? Fresh, fruity, gently creamy and well roounded.
Who drinks it? Polar explorer Tom Avery, Ellen MacArthur and the rest of the sailing fraternity.
Anything else?: Get to the smart new Mumm Grand Cru before anyone else.
