Description
// 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay
Bottled mid-2013 and disgorged in March 2018
6g/L dosage
"RSRV Cuvée 4.5 is a unique blend of five of Maison Mumm’s Grand Cru terroirs. Pinot Noir – from Verzenay, Aÿ and Bouzy – confers power and structure, as well as fresh, generous aromas. Chardonnay – from Cramant and Avize – lends elegance and liveliness, as well as tangy citrus notes. The grapes are pressed and vinified separately before being blended with reserve wines. For the finishing touch, the dosage liqueur is sourced from these same Grand Cru terroirs. Produced in limited quantities, this champagne ages for a minimum of four years in the cellars before it is ready to be enjoyed." - House Notes
"The NV Brut RSRV Cuvée 4.5 from Maison Mumm possesses a charming, elegant bouquet of vanilla pod, honey, tonka bean, spring flowers and yellow fruits. Medium to full-bodied, harmonious and seamless, it’s precise and elegantly vinous and concludes with a sapid, saline finish." - 92 Points, Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
