Cossy : Origine Extra Brut

An Extra Brut Champagne exuding minerality and seductive complexity

The producer

The Cossy family has been producing grapes for other Champagne houses since 1764, and in the 1950s, they decided to sell the champagne from their vineyards under their own name.

Family-owned, the Cossy Champagne House is headed by Sophie Cossy, who took over the running of the estate at the age of 26, following her father’s passing.

Sophie Cossy is passionate about producing sophisticated champagnes which offer new tasting experiences.

The vineyard

The Cossy Champagne House watches over a sustainable 7-hectare vineyard, spread over 34 different plots located to the south of Reims.

The wine

The house’s latest innovation, Cossy's Origine Extra Brut champagne is made exclusively from classified Premier Crus vineyards. This champagne is produced based on the 2011 harvest, supplemented by 25% of reserve wines from 2010 and 2009. The dosage is 4 g/litre.

The blend

The Cossy Origine Extra Brut comprises a blend of Pinot Meunier (40%), Pinot Noir (35%) and Chardonnay (25%).

The tasting

Colour

Deep, this champagne is adorned with golden-green reflections. The effervescence is rich and delicate.

Nose

This champagne elegantly reveals delicious (biscuits, honey) and floral aromas. When the wine is aired, fruity fragrances (stone fruits, cooked fruits) blend with a beautiful minerality.

Palate

A lively and precise attack gives way to a structured, rich and refreshing mouth. During the tasting experience, this champagne is seductive due to its purity, balance, minerality and caressing touch.

Service

For an optimal tasting experience, serve at 10°C.
