G. H. Mumm NV Grand Cru Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
-
$60
This is a classy package, and the wine lives up to it, showing extra dimensions of power and weight. The flavors are layered and unfold gracefully; apple to citrus to pineapple. Then it slides into stone, chalk and fennel, moving finally to a nicely etched, crystalline clarity as it slowly fades across the palate.

G. H. Mumm NV Cramant Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)
-
$70
From a single 100% grand cru vineyard in the village of Cramant. Actually it is a crémant de Cramant, indicating a Champagne with slightly less effervescence and a lighter approach. Unusual, spicy, fennel-infused flavors lead into a silky, vanilla custard core, with hints of sandalwood and noticeable residual sugar. Tough match to food; great apéritif.

$61
Formerly known as Crémant de Cramant (a name now banned because it refers to sparkling wines from Burgundy, Alsace, the Loire and Limoux), Mumm continues to make this blanc de blancs, which is famed for its lightness. It is great to see they are also giving the wine some bottle age, which brings out delicious, toasty, nutty characters. Imported by Allied Domecq…
