Reims Heritage, Napa Valley Address
Mumm Napa began when G.H. Mumm of Reims sent winemaker Guy Devaux to find an American sparkling-wine site in the 1970s and he chose Napa Valley; the first wines were released in the early 1980s. The winemaking keeps the Champagne playbook — cool fermentations for freshness, a few oak-aged lots for complexity, then the finished blend bottled for its second fermentation and disgorged as a brut.
