Usain and Mumm celebrated with a revolutionary bottle design: Mumm Grand Cordon.
 

A new way to celebrate 
At this year's Kentucky Derby, dedicated fun-seeker Usain Bolt and Maison Mumm broke with the traditional conventions of celebration. A huge fan of horse racing, Usain launched the world's largest champagne toast in person at Mumm's offices in New York.

 

Mission accomplished
As Mumm's new Chief Entertainment Officer, Usain accomplished his first mission by taking over the Maison's US offices in New York City. The fastest man in the world shared his contagious party spirit among the employees and guests to showcase Mumm's enduring partnership with the Kentucky Derby, along with the Maison's values of DareWinCelebrate. Usain's unique management role was captured on film by NBC's Access Hollywood crew: aired on the Monday following the race, the segment shows Usain DJing at Mumm's Daring Derby party and answering questions about his new role as CEO.

We're delighted to be continuing our relationship as the Kentucky Derby's official champagne partner. Like Mumm, the Kentucky Derby celebrates sporting prowess and determination, and is steeped in history. Usain Bolt also fits perfectly with the unconventional and daring ethos of our iconic champagne house.

said Cesar Giron, Chairman and CEO of Martell Mumm Perrier-Jouet.

A revolutionary bottle
Designed by the groundbreaking Welsh designer Ross Lovegrove, this contemporary creation features a red sash indented directly into the glass and no front label. Sabered by Usain in the video that first announced his appointment, it embodies the Maison's spirit of DareWinCelebrate. Ever associated with daring achievers, Mumm is a natural partner for the most exciting sports events worldwide.
