Champagne G.H. Mumm

Champagne G.H. Mumm has enjoyed an association with sailing and adventure for 180 years. Georges Mumm, the founder of the champagne house, sponsored sailing back in 1904 when his friend Captain Charcot became the first Frenchman to reach the Antarctic and celebrate with a glass of G.H. Mumm Champagne. Ever since, we have been committed as a brand to celebrate remarkable feats of endurance and human achievement and that’s exactly what all the competitors of iShares Cup are still doing. G.H. Mumm is delighted to be involved with the iShares Cup.

Since the 1970s, Champagne G.H. Mumm has been closely involved with some of the most prestigious sailing events around the world including the Champagne G.H. Mumm Admirals Cup, the Vendée Globe, the Hermes G.H. Mumm Regatta, and events much closer to home such as Skandia Cowes Week, Royal Cork Week and the JPMorgan Fleming Asset Management Round The Island Race.

Yachtswoman Dame Ellen MacArthur carries on the spirit of G.H.Mumm and the quest for extraordinary achievement, when she toasted her success in her recent record-breaking solo voyage of the globe. Similarly when she finished 2nd in the 2001 Vendée Globe, her champagne of choice was G.H. Mumm. Ellen and her team mate Nick Moloney join G.H. Mumm and its growing team of explorers and adventurers that are helping to promote the brand as the champagne with a spirit of adventure.

G.H. Mumm is also proud to be bronze partner and official champagne to Skandia Team GBR in their quest for medals in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Other ‘Friends of G.H. Mumm’ who have celebrated extraordinary achievements with Champagne G.H. Mumm include Bear Grylls, David Hempleman-Adams, Ewan MacGregor, Gordon Ramsay – and of course every Formula One Grand Prix winner since 2000!
