MUMM

G.H. Mumm is part of Martell Mumm Perrier-Jouët, the prestige cognac and champagne business of Pernod Ricard, the world’s n°2 in wines and spirits. With its distinguished heritage dating back to 1827, Mumm is the leading super Premium champagne House in France and third worldwide.

Since its very beginnings, Maison Mumm has made the quest for excellence its guiding philosophy. From the first presses to be directly installed in vineyards nearly 200 years ago, to the first champagne designed in 2018 to be tasted in space, Maison Mumm has always put innovation in the service of its champagnes and their unique style, asserted through Pinot Noir, the house’s signature grape.

The story of Maison Mumm is one of legendary terroirs and of a bold, distinctive grape: Pinot Noir. With its power and rich, elegant fruit, the black grape takes pride of place in the House’s classic blends, to which Chardonnay and Meunier grapes add their inimitable floral and fruity notes.

PERRIER-JOUËT

Maison Perrier-Jouët was born over 200 years ago from a couple’s shared love of nature, passion for art and vision of champagne. The values that define the House today – an attachment to the terroir, an unconventional approach, a belief in creativity – are all firmly anchored in the history of the founding family.

The destiny of Maison Perrier-Jouët has always been shaped by audacious choices, starting with the founders’ decision to make the Chardonnay grape the signature of the House, pioneering the intricate floral style for which its champagnes are recognised throughout the world.

Subsequently, the family’s twin passions for art and nature would find expression in Maison Perrier-Jouët’s association with the revolutionary Art Nouveau movement, captured forever in the iconic anemone motif designed for the House by Emile Gallé. Today, art and nature remain at the heart of Maison Perrier-Jouët as –through an extravagant universe it calls the “Art of the Wild” – it reinvents luxury as meaningful experience, in pursuit of its mission to re-enchant the everyday.
