In the 20th century, the history of the House of G.H.MUMM was marked by the role played by its Chairman, René Lalou, a visionary and innovative businessman but also a humanist and an aesthete. For half a century, he helped to spread the reputation of the House and its wines around the world.
In tribute to him, a special cuvée bearing his name was produced from 1966 to 1985. Present in many starred restaurants, it was a great favourite of gourmets and Chefs.
In 2007, G.H.MUMM decided to revive this legendary cuvée. The Cellar Master devised a champagne de terroir bred from the best of the House vineyards and named it R. Lalou.
The tasting ritual
Incantation, decantation ... R. Lalou is an inspired wine that demands a ritual to celebrate its excellence. Decant the wine into a carafe. Place the carafe on the table next to the bottle. And experience its joyous expression in a Grand Cru glass.
