Breaking new boundaries has been at the heart of Champagne G.H. Mumm since the House was founded in 1827. Georges H. Mumm, the founding father, developed a taste for discovery and adventure with his friend the famous French explorer Captain Jean-Baptiste Charcot. Today the same spirit attracts outstanding high achievers, sportsmen and women, explorers and adventurers across the world. Champagne G.H. Mumm has celebrated remarkable feats of endurance and human achievement for over 170 years. In 1875, the House began decorating its bottles with the Cordon Rouge as a tribute to the red ribbon of the Legion of Honour, France’s highest civilian distinction created by Napoleon I. This powerful red sash has now become synonymous with House of Champagne G.H. Mumm and the extraordinary achievements it supports. Today, Champagne G.H. Mumm is integral to some of the world’s greatest sporting events, from world class sailing competitions such as The Vendée Globe to international motor sports events including Formula One, Le Mans and The SuperCar Run. Champagne G.H. Mumm is the world’s third best selling champagne and is available in more than 100 different countries.
