From the three classic champagne grapes—pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier. This wine is grown at Mumm’s Napa property. Fairly generous, biscuity, pear-melon, garlicky nose. The Napa NV Brut Prestige lacks the elegance of Mumm champagne. Quite full bodied (for bubbly), rich and intense, with firm acidity and a grapefruity finish. Very good length. LCBO 265678
