The award-winning Cordon Rouge was created in 1876 and decorated with the red silk ribbon to symbolise the highest of French honours - the grand croix de la Légion d'honneur. The Cordon Rouge bottle became the symbol of the House from the 19^th Century. Today G.H.MUMM will continue to be part of the celebration, honouring the best of human achievements and contributions through its partnership with the Palais de la Legion d'Honneur.

"Something that was once created as a tribute to La Legion d'Honneur has become our most recognisable attribute, but the connection does not stop at the red ribbon. We are extremely honoured that our shared quest for excellence and mutual pride of our long-standing heritage are being celebrated with this partnership." - Phillippe Guettat, Chairman and CEO for G.H.MUMM House of Champagne.
