The Making of RSRV 4.5 G.H. Mumm Champagne

The RSRV 4.5 cuvée is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, sourced from the iconic Grand Cru terroirs of Verzenay, Bouzy, Aÿ, Cramant, and Avize. Each terroir is pressed and vinified separately to preserve the full personality of the terroirs. The wines are then blended with 20% reserve wines, adding depth and complexity. The cuvée is dosed at 6 g/L, providing a subtle balance between acidity and sweetness. Aged for a minimum of four years in the historic cellars of the house, it reveals all the richness of its Grand Cru origins.

Five Grand Crus

The Grand Cru terroirs of Verzenay, Bouzy, Aÿ, Cramant, and Avize are located in the heart of the most prestigious regions of Champagne. Verzenay, nestled on the Montagne de Reims, is distinguished by its chalky soil, which gives the Pinot Noir grapes remarkable aromatic intensity and structure. Bouzy, also on the Montagne de Reims, is renowned for its powerful Pinot Noirs, with rich fruity notes and beautiful complexity. Further west, Aÿ embodies the history and tradition of Champagne, with calcareous soils that produce wines that are both structured and elegant. On the Côte des Blancs, Cramant and Avize stand out for their Chardonnay of unparalleled finesse. Their chalky soils and ideal exposure give rise to grapes that express lively freshness, subtle minerality, and delicate floral aromas. Together, these terroirs form the foundation of the RSRV 4.5 cuvée.
