The Champagne house G.H. Mumm Champagne in Reims in northeastern France was founded in 1827 by three brothers from Hesse, Germany: Jacobus (1779-1835), Gottlieb (1782-1852), and Philipp Mumm (1779-1835), along with Friedrich Giesler and G. Heuser from the Rhineland. Initially, the company operated under the name P. A. Mumm & Co. The "P. A." refers to the father of the three brothers, Peter-Arnold Mumm (1733-1797), who had already established a wine trade in the Rhineland in Germany in 1761.

At first, there were no own vineyards, but already in the founding year, large quantities of Champagne were exported to Germany, Belgium, England, and Russia. In 1837, Friedrich Giesler separated and founded his own company. After the death of Gottlieb Mumm in 1852, the partners quarreled, resulting in two companies.
