The Making of RSRV Lalou 2008 G.H. Mumm Champagne

The RSRV Lalou 2008 cuvée is crafted from a blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay. The grapes come from twelve carefully selected Grand Cru plots: seven located on the Montagne de Reims and five on the Côte des Blancs. These plots, among the oldest and best exposed, are emblematic of the exceptional quality of this champagne. After meticulous vinification, the cuvée ages for over ten years in the historic cellars of the house, developing remarkable aromatic complexity. The dosage is mastered at 6 g/L, ensuring a perfect balance between freshness and roundness.

The 2008 Vintage

The year 2008 is distinguished by a contrasting climate, marked by a cold winter and heavy precipitation followed by an exceptionally sunny September. These conditions allowed for slow and homogeneous ripening of the grapes, resulting in a harvest of impeccable quality. This vintage, considered legendary in Champagne, is reflected in the depth and finesse of RSRV Lalou 2008.
