Champagne G.H. Mumm

At the beginning of the 19th century, Peter Arnold Mumm's sons saw the potential of Champagne wines and took advantage of the cordial agreement between France and Germany to set up a subsidiary of their company in Reims. They were assisted by G. Heuser, a native of Champagne, and Maison G.H. Mumm opened its doors in 1827.

Today, the G.H. Mumm vineyard covers 218 hectares of vines, mainly located in eight grand cru areas: Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Verzy, Verzenay, Avize, Cramant, and Mailly-Champagne. G.H. Mumm sources 75% of its production from partner winegrowers. The combination of its own vineyards and these additional supplies gives G.H. Mumm Champagnes their distinctive style and consistency.

A few years after its creation, G.H. Mumm set up a research laboratory to better understand the second fermentation process. Since then, the house has never stopped questioning itself and improving the quality of its products. A partnership with INRA, CNRS, and Météo France has been established to work on new processes and adapt them to the constraints of the soil, climate, and vines.
