RSRV Lalou is an exceptional wine which pays tribute to the philosophy of René Lalou. It is founded on a complex and virtuoso blend of Maison Mumm’s finest Grand Cru plots – 12 parcels which are the most prestigious in the Mumm vineyard. These plots are also the oldest and best located, presenting the most distinctive character among the House’s Grand Cru vines.
Of the 12 specific plots in the Maison Mumm vineyard, equally distributed between Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, seven were selected for the unique blend of RSRV Lalou 2008 (Les Bionnes, Les Crupots, Les Briquettes, Les Perthes, Hannepés, Les Rochers, Les Houles). These seven Grand Cru wines were previously pressed separately, then vinified one by one. In line with Maison Mumm’s uncompromising standards, a 10-year aging period and a dosage of 6 grams per liter fully reveal their complex and elegant aromas.
