Champagne just makes your day get better, and G H Mumm Champagne is no different. Apparently the third largest producer of Champagne, which can only be produced in the Champagne region of France, Mumm Champagne is the choice of F1 winners, amongst other heroes.

The tour of the Mumm Champagne ‘factory’ (?) provides a comprehensive overview of the ‘methode champenoise’, a guided tour of the underground cellars which in total cover a distance of 25 kilometres at a depth of 20 metres, and of course a tasting. The temperature in the cellars is a consistent 10 degrees throughout the year, and provides some relief from the heat of the day upstairs.

Mumm has been producing Champagne since the early 1800’s at the same cellars in Reims. The oldest vintage still in the caverns is 130 years old, and still used by the winemakers today as the benchmark for each vintage.
