20 January 2017

January 20, 2017 -Arriving in Les Sables d’Olonne on 19 January 2017, after 74 gruelling days at sea, skipper Armel Le Cléac’h celebrated his triumph in the Vendée Globe round-the-world yacht race with a bottle of Mumm Cordon Rouge, the icon of victory from the champagne house.

Throughout its history, Maison Mumm has been associated with audacious challenges and ground-breaking endeavours. The Vendée Globe is the most famous and most arduous race in sailing. Nicknamed the Everest of the Seas, it involves circumnavigating the world alone, without stopping and without assistance. Even to complete the race, let alone win, is an extraordinary achievement. It was, therefore, fitting that Armel Le Cléac’h should toast his historic victory – in a new record time of 74 days, 3 hours, 35minutes & 46 seconds – with a bottle of Mumm Cordon Rouge, whose Mumm red ribbon makes it the ultimate icon of celebration for winners everywhere.
