G. H. Mumm & Cie situated in Reims, northern France, is one of the largest Champagne producers worldwide and is owned by Pernod Ricard. It was founded by three brothers, Jacobus, Gottlieb and Phillip Mumm, German winemakers from the Rhine valley and G. Heuser and Friedrich Giesleron on 1st March 1827 as  P A Mumm Giesler & Co. The French confiscated all of the Mumm’s property in World War I because although they had lived in Champagne, France for almost a century, they had never become French citizens.
