The winery:

The first pages of the fabulous history of the Maison Mumm in the production of wine was written long before 1827, date of its official foundation. The origins of the family, Mumm, whose lineage includes barons and knights, dating back to the XII century. In 1761 the family already possessed a business of producing and marketing wines with headquarters in Cologne (Germany) under the name "P. A. Mumm", initials and surname of its owner, Peter Arnold Mumm. The company was the owner of extensive vineyards in the Rhine valley, where produced your own wines.

In the early years of the NINETEENTH century, the three children of Peter Arnold Mumm, Gottlieb, Jacobus and Philipp, recognized the commercial potential of the outstanding sparkling wines produced in the region of the Champagne French. Because in that period Germany and France maintained good relations, the brothers Mumm took the bold decision to create a branch of the family company in the Champagne, establishing an office in Reims, where they counted with the help of a resident of the place, G. Heuser.

From the beginning, the quality was the watchword key to the members of the new entity founded in 1827 and what has remained for all his successors. This principle would be embodied in the motto coined by Georges Hermann Mumm: "Only the best".
