The history of the Maison G.H.Mumm and its wines started before 1827, when the maison was officially founded. The origins of the Mumm family, whose dinasty also includes barons and knights, date back to the 17th century. In 1761, the family started the wine production and commerce in Koln, under the label of P.A. Mumm, the owner's name, Peter Arnold Mumm.
