History |
Artist Léonard Foujita, a friend of the Maison Mumm, designed the rose motif that has decorated the bottle of Mumm rosé champagne since 1958. RSRV Rosé Foujita is a blend of six Grand Cru terroirs, bringing together Pinot Noir from Verzenay, Aÿ and Bouzy, and Chardonnay from Cramant and Avize. Red wine from Ambonnay, another Grand Cru village, is added to the blend, giving fullness and intensity to the palate and red and black fruit aromas. The grapes are crushed and vinified separately before being blended with the réserve wines. The wine is aged for a minimum of four years in the cellars before the liqueur de dosage, sourced from Grand Cru terroirs and aged in oak barrels, adds final notes of pastry and vanilla. The specific shape of the bottle, with its slender profile, enhances the evolution and preservation of the wine. |
