G.H.Mumm Cuvée R.Lalou 1998 came away with a Gold Trophy at the 2009 Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Wine & Spirit Competition – the first truly international Asia-based event of its kind.

G.H.Mumm Cuvée R.Lalou 1998 was the only Prestige champagne Cuvée to receive the competition’s highest award, a tribute to the prowess of Chef de Cave Didier Mariotti.

With optimal balance of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it was cultivated in a year in which all the elements aligned for winemaking perfection. The result is a champagne that G.H.Mumm says sommeliers and chefs around the world continue to recommend as the perfect accompaniment to the finest gastronomy.
