Spectacular Wineries of Napa Valley

Innovation combines with traditional care in the vineyard. Continuing the long tradition of handcrafted wine, each cluster is carefully selected and transported in small baskets, affectionately known as “Famous Yellow Boxes.” Their simple, clever construction keeps the berries from being crushed and in prime condition for the presses. Only the first, most pure pressing goes into the sparkling wines. To ensure character in the style of méthode traditionnelle, every bottle is fermented separately. And, equally important, grapes are sourced entirely from Napa Valley.

Mumm Napa DVX, named in memory and tribute to Guy Devaux, is the epitome of the fine portfolio. Each vintage is artfully crafted to capture the fruit-forward characteristics of grapes harvested from the finest plots of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It is considered by many to be the quintessential sparkling wine in California.
