How to best open and serve Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs 'RSRV' 2015 - G.H. Mumm (case)
1. Bottle positioning
Before opening the Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs 'RSRV' 2015 - G.H. Mumm (case), position the bottle upright for at least 30 minutes. This allows any sediment to settle at the bottom, resulting in a clearer pour. Avoid shaking the bottle to preserve the integrity of the bubbles and the quality of the perlage.
2. Ideal serving temperature
The optimal serving temperature for this Champagne is between 8°C and 10°C. You can chill it in an ice bucket with ice and water for about 20-25 minutes. Avoid the freezer, as it can compromise the aromatic structure and vibrancy of the wine.
3. Opening the bottle
Follow these simple steps for a safe and elegant opening:
- Remove the foil and gently loosen the wire cage, without removing it completely.
- Hold the bottle at a 45° angle and grip the cork with one hand, while gently twisting the bottle (not the cork) with the other.
- Slowly release the gas, aiming for the classic “sigh” instead of a pop, to preserve the effervescence of the Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs 'RSRV' 2015 - G.H. Mumm.
4. Inspection and first taste
After uncorking the bottle, pour a small amount of Champagne into the glass to check its color, clarity, and aroma. Observe the perlage: it should be fine and persistent. On the nose, you should perceive notes of citrus, white flowers, and slight toasted undertones, typical of elegant Blanc de Blancs.
5. Decanting and oxygenation
Although it is not common to decant Champagne, for a vintage like the Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs 'RSRV' 2015 - G.H. Mumm (case), a brief period of oxygenation can be beneficial. Pour the wine into a decanter or large balloon glasses and let it rest for 10-15 minutes: this allows the aromas to open up and express the complexity of the vintage.
6. Serving
Serve the Champagne in tulip or egg-shaped glasses, which favor the concentration of aromas and allow for a better perception of the perlage. Fill them to about one-third and pour with a controlled motion to avoid dispersing the bubbles. Pair the Champagne with fish, shellfish, or delicate cheeses to enhance its finesse.
7. Storage after opening
If you don't finish the entire bottle, use an airtight Champagne stopper and store it in the refrigerator. Under these conditions, the Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs 'RSRV' 2015 - G.H. Mumm (case) will maintain its effervescence and freshness for approximately 24-48 hours. Avoid storing it at room temperature or horizontally after opening.
