Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
The red string brand, one of the most famous in the world, has belonged to the Pernod-Ricard group since 2005. It offers a complete and delicious classic range, as well as a magnificent range dedicated to connoisseurs, RSRV, which presents four exciting cuvées: the famous Mumm-de-Cramant, a blanc de blancs of dazzling finesse; its alter ego in Pinot Noir, blanc de noirs; an intense and racy rosé called Foujita; and a cuvée that has been aged longer in the cellar. Added to this brilliant range is a remarkable interpretation of the legendary Lalou cuvée. All these wines are well worth rediscovering. Great houses are eternal, and Mumm is no exception. Numerous changes have enabled it to commit even more firmly to the path of excellence.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Like other big names in Champagne, the Mumm house is of German origin, founded in 1827 by the three Mumm brothers, Jacobus, Gottlieb, and Philipp, sons of a merchant from Cologne. Georges-Hermann Mumm, grandson of the founder, gave his initials to the company and launched Cordon Rouge in 1875, evoking the Legion of Honor. The business remained in the family until 1914, when the war led to its seizure due to the German nationality of its owners. With its own 218-hectare vineyard, the company has been one of the Pernod-Ricard group's flagship Champagne brands since 2005. Laurent Fresnet, its cellar master, continues the house style, which emphasizes Pinot Noir.

Rated estate (2025 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
The fourth largest brand in Champagne in terms of volume is regaining consistency with the ambition of increasing said volumes. It is not in the tradition of the Pernod-Ricard group, owner since 2005, to play on the elitism of brands. Mumm is moving upmarket without cutting itself off from the general public in its pricing policy. The RSRV range, initially reserved for a "circle of friends" of the house, is now open to the public and expresses the best the house has to offer in different styles: blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, rosé, and now Cuvée Lalou. Mumm is not included in this year's guide: its entry-level wines are not up to standard and its high-end cuvées are far from reaching the heights.
