Cossy, Cuvee Origine Premier Cru Extra Brut
History
: The history of Champagne Cossy began in 1764, when the Cossy family first started cultivating vineyards in Champagne. Initially focused on grape growing rather than Champagne production, the family later became Champagne producers during the difficult years of the early 20th century, laying the foundation for the house as it exists today.
The estate is now led by Sophie Cossy, who inherited the vineyards at the age of 25 following the passing of her father, Francis Cossy. Together with her mother Genevieve, Sophie continued the family legacy before taking full leadership of the house in 2017. Since then, she has shaped a more modern and distinctive identity for Champagne Cossy while preserving its heritage and terroir-driven philosophy.
Under Sophie’s direction, the house has introduced a renewed visual identity and refined winemaking style, including lower dosage levels and the expansion of Extra Brut cuvées, reflecting a more elegant and contemporary expression of Champagne.
