This Champagne Mumm Cordon Rouge 1976 is a rarity that reflects all the history and elegance of the GH Mumm house. The 1976 vintage is recognized for its exceptional climatic conditions, having offered rich and perfectly ripe grapes, giving birth to wines of great aromatic depth and beautiful structure.

Despite its age, this bottle is in excellent general condition for its conservation:

• Level: Very good, indicating ideal storage.
• Visual aspect: A clear and brilliant color, promising a champagne that has aged well.
  However, the exterior elements show traces of time: the cap and label are damaged, torn and stained , which adds to the authenticity and history of this collector's item.

On the palate, we can expect an evolved champagne, with dominant tertiary notes (dried fruits, honey, spices), a more discreet effervescence and a velvety texture, characteristic of well-preserved old vintages.
