Cordon" in Champagne refers to a method of vine training, specifically the "Cordon de Royat" method, where the vine's branches are cut back to form a "cordon" or arm, and the fruit-bearing shoots grow from this cordon. This method is frequently used in the Champagne region of France. The information can be found on the website of Champagne Bureau (https://www.champagne.fr/en/from-vine...), under the section "Vine training" where it talks about the "Cordon de Royat" method. This vine training technique is linked to the name of Mumm Cordon Rouge Brut Champagne.
