Brut Rosé

  • The history: Foujita's rose

    When opening a bottle of G.H.MUMM Brut Rosé, the wine lover will be surprised to discover a beautifully drawn rose. This is the work of Léonard Foujita, a Franco-Japanese artist and close friend of the legendary President of the House, René Lalou. The two men shared the same taste for fine things and the same spiritual values.
    When René Lalou was seeking a symbol to represent the G.H.MUMM Brut Rosé cuvée, he naturally turned to the man whose style he so admired. The rose designed by Foujita in 1958, which originally embellished the neck of the bottle, delighted guests when it was first presented at the 1958 Cannes Festival. Like an ornamental seal guaranteeing the authenticity of the cuvée, it is still present on the cap of the bottle.

  • The elaboration

    In keeping with the Champagne legacy, the House produces a Brut rosé that recalls the iconic Cordon Rouge. The Cellar Master selects the 12% to 14% of red wines from villages famed for their pinots, such as Bouzy, Verzenay or Riceys on the Côte des Bar. Once the balance is achieved by the addition of reserve wines, the final blend is dominated by Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with the addition of Pinot Meunier.

  • The style: over to the Cellar Master

    “An elegant, delicate cuvee that epitomises the Champagne terroir and the inimitable style of G.H.MUMM”.

  • The tasting ritual

    The G.H.MUMM tradition, inspired by the age of chivalry and gallantry, is to offer this cuvée accompanied by a fresh rose.
