Mumm Brut Vintage 1966 - Champagne Cordon Rouge

This Champagne Mumm Cordon Rouge 1966 is a real gem for lovers of old vintages and collectors. Coming from a year marked by a perfect balance between grape maturity and freshness, this champagne offers an aromatic richness and an exceptional structure, witnesses of its long aging.

Despite its advanced age, this bottle is in good overall condition :

• Level: Excellent, sign of ideal conservation.
• External appearance: The cap and label show signs of wear and stains, but remain well preserved for a wine of this period.

Please note : We had two bottles of this vintage. Unfortunately, one of them was of an insufficient level according to our quality criteria to be put on sale. We decided to taste it, and the experience confirmed the majesty of this great vintage.
