Wine columnist and connoisseur DENNIS KNILL gives his views on two appealing sparkling wines.
For almost two centuries Mumm has been crafting exceptional sparkling wines. World famous for its champagne, Mumm can be found on the tables of royalty and fine dining restaurants. Established in 1827, Mumm Champagne House in Reims is the birthplace of champagne.
In 1852 George Hermann Mumm took control of the family company planting new vineyards and laying the foundations for wines that continue to excel. Acquired by Pernod Ricard in 2005, the Mumm brand has extended into other sparkling varietals true to its watchword of excellence.
