3rd Mumm Explorer Experience

“G.H.Mumm partnered with renowned Chef Mauro Colagreco to create a gastronomic Dinner on a sand bank on July, 14th 2009.

G.H Mumm chose the Great Barrier Reef, and asked Chef Mauro Colagreco to prepare a gastronomic lunch in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, on a pristine sandbank on the Great Barrier Reef. Magnifying these resources in their natural setting was the challenge that Mauro Colagreco had to rise to.

The main new feature in this third Mumm Explorer Experience was that G.H Mumm announced ten lucky winners would have the exclusive opportunity to participate in the fourth Mumm Explore experience, slated for July 2010 in the Gobi desert – provided they win the contest that this Maison de Champagne will be running soon.”

SECOND MUMM EXPLORER EXPERIENCE: 7 extreme dinners

After their first expedition to Greenland in July 2008 and a dinner orchestrated by two-star chef Sylvestre Wahid on an iceberg adrift in the middle of the Sermilik fjord, the House of G.H. MUMM and adventurer Mike Horn are off again, this time to Antarctica alongside three Michelin-star Gérard Boyer, following in the wake of Captain Charcot, whose expedition the House backed a century earlier. Iceberg, Charcot Bay, in the north of the Antarctic peninsula: on 27 October 2008, G.H. MUMM and South African adventurer Mike Horn celebrated the beauty of the planet at the very spot where, on 14 July 1904, Captain Charcot’s crew celebrated their first steps taken on the white continent by cracking open a bottle of Mumm Cordon Rouge. A few hours earlier, three-star Chef Gérard Boyer, who ran the restaurant of the Château les Crayères for nearly 20 years, gave a gourmet dinner as a tribute to that page in the house’s history. In the centre of the volcano on Deception Island, south of the Shetlands, he prepared the following menu featuring a South African variation on the truffle and caviar themes.
