How to best open and serve Champagne Brut 'Millésimé' 2015 - G.H. Mumm (cased)
1. Bottle positioning
Before opening Champagne Brut 'Millésimé' 2015 - G.H. Mumm (cased), it is important that the bottle has been stored correctly. Keep it horizontally in a cool, dark place, away from light and heat sources. Approximately 24 hours before serving, place it upright to allow sediments to settle at the bottom, ensuring a clearer and more precise pour.
2. Ideal serving temperature
The perfect temperature to fully appreciate the complex notes of this vintage Champagne is between 8 and 10°C. Use an ice bucket with ice and water to gradually cool the bottle for about 30 minutes before serving. Avoid placing it in the freezer, as an excessive thermal shock can alter its aromatic structure.
3. Opening the bottle
To correctly open Champagne Brut 'Millésimé' 2015 - G.H. Mumm (cased):
- Remove the foil and loosen the wire cage, always keeping your thumb on the cork to prevent sudden opening.
- Hold the bottle tilted at about 45° and firmly grasp the cork with one hand while gently rotating the base with the other.
- Allow the cork to come out slowly, producing a slight sigh, an indication of correct opening without wasting bubbles.
4. Inspection and first taste
Observe the color in the glass: a 2015 vintage Champagne usually presents golden reflections and a fine, persistent perlage. Smell to perceive the aromas: notes of dried fruit, ripe citrus, and slight nuances of brioche can be recognized. On the first taste, check for any oxidative hints or defects: an elegant, fresh, and balanced taste will confirm the excellent condition of the wine.
5. Decanting and oxygenation
Although it is not usual to decant a Champagne, for Champagne Brut 'Millésimé' 2015 - G.H. Mumm (cased) a slight passage in a decanter can be useful to encourage aromatic opening. Perform this operation only if the wine shows closed aromas or a very evolved structure.

6. Serving
Use tulip-shaped glasses or wide flutes to enhance the aromas and appreciate the complexity of the perlage. Pour slowly, tilting the glass slightly to reduce the loss of effervescence. Serve small quantities to keep the wine fresh and aromatic until the last sip.
7. Storage after opening
If not consumed entirely, reseal Champagne Brut 'Millésimé' 2015 - G.H. Mumm (cased) with an airtight stopper for sparkling wines and store it in the refrigerator.
