They were German and in the 18th century they were already wine producers and merchants. Recognising the quality and the potential of the sparkling wines produced in the nearby Champagne region, in 1927 they decided to establish a branch of their wine company there. “Only the Best” being their motto, they soon seduced illustrious European royal families. The creation of the “Cordon Rouge” definitely established their fame: they became the official supplier of the British Royalty – which they still are – and they attracted artists such as Utrillo and Foujita. Mumm is today the official sponsor of Formula One F1 races. 2 BIS RUE DE LA JACQUIERE 41150 CHAUMONT SUR LOIRE [email protected] TEL : + 33 (0) 2 54 33 99 79 FAX : + 33 (0) 2 54 33 95 96 www.france-bubbles-tours.com SARL AU CAPITAL SOCIAL DE 15000€ .
