75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay. Deepish straw yellow colour. Light on
nose, very elegant, on the simple and plainer side of expression. Dry
and very elegant, somewhat shy in expression. Fresh and crisp, with
very good fine bubble, very attractive for it, but overall needs a
little more depth and definition. My score 16.5+/20 RC Feb 06
Mumm Cordon Rouge NV
Reims, 12.0% alc., 28% Ch, 50% PN, 22% PM
Straw yellow with a pale edge. Attractively concentrated nose with
even, aromatic lift of Chardonnay, quite tightly bound. Dry and
elegantly constructed, not that rich, and somewhat plain and simple,
lovely creamy elements however, lighter effervescence, easy and very
approachable. My score 16.5-/20 RC Nov 05
