A story born in the vineyards of France traverses across the Pacific to the rugged terroir of Central Otago and lands on the pages of VNTNR. This is Mumm's inaugural pinot noir; the first still wine from the iconic champagne house. It’s a pinot noir that seeks no attention yet can’t help but fascinate when it enters the room. The music stops. Conversations pause. Peeled plum and black cherry undulate. Warm 85% cocoa gestures behind. Tales of serendipity and smooth escapes return and the air is full.
