5 exceptional champagne 100% Grand Cru
The RSRV collection is the ultimate expression of Maison Mumm’s heritage, terroir and savoir faire. The name – acronym of réservé – evokes the ancient tradition, dating back to 200 years ago, to reserve the best cuvée to friends and fans: the Cellar Master noted them in the cellar records with the initials RSRV.
The exclusivity and value are also highlighted by the label characterized by the upper corner folded that recalls the use of business cards according to the dictates of living skills of the time: the flap so placed testified that the bottle of champagne had been delivered by hand.
The aging in the cellar, from a minimum of 3 months to 10 years, allows each of these cuvées to reveal their exclusive personality. Of the 5 cuvées RSRV Blanc de Noirs, RSRV Blanc de Blancs and Lalou are vintage, the result of a single territory, a single vineyard and a single vintage.
The vocation of these cuvées is superbly gastronomic. In fact, they were born to exalt the dishes and elevate the pleasure of the table.
Such an exceptional nectar also deserves a bottle with a unique aesthetic, created ad hoc and whose design, and in particular the thin neck, exalts the evolution and sublime the wine’s preservation.

A minimum aging of 6 years in the cellar and a minimum dosage of 6 grams sugar per liter reveal the structure and aromatic richness of this vintage, a complex and elegant wine.
