The 2002 vintage is characterised by a very low acidity and high sugar content. Cuvee R. Lalou 2002 goes further still, using only the very fine of these twelve precious plots. A rich and powerful wine requiring complex dishes. This champagne should be treated like a fine white Burgandy. It will be good with white truffles, meaty fish (turbot) in sauce, poultry (Bresse chicken) and some game (partridge or grouse). The result is powerful, full-bodied and fine. A cuvee for connoisseurs of rare wines. Cuvee R. Lalou is G. H. Mumm's tribute to terroir creator Rene Lalou, an emblematic figure who presided over the house from 1920 to 1973. The cellar master has adopted a bold approach in creating this prestigious wine, selecting grapes from among twelve legendary Grand Cru locations in the heart of G. H. Mumm's vineyards
