Cossy : Cuvée Éclat Premier Cru Brut

A complex and delicate Brut Premier Cru Champagne

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

Cossy's Éclat Premier Cru Brut is made from vineyards located to the west of the Montagne de Reims, near the villages of Jouy-lès-Reims and Pargny-lès-Reims.

This champagne is produced based on the 2017 harvest, supplemented by reserve wines from 2016 and 2054. The dosage is 8 g/litre.

The blend

Éclat Premier Cru Brut by Cossy comprises a blend of Chardonnay (33%), Pinot Noir (33%) and Pinot Meunier (34%).

The tasting

Colour

This champagne is a beautiful golden yellow colour. The effervescence is fine and delicate.

Nose

The champagne harmoniously combines freshness and maturity. The bouquet opens with delicious fragrances of ripe fruit, honey and bread crust. When aired, fruity notes mingle with a complex frank aromatic expression.

Palate

A supple attack precedes a rich and refined palate. The palate is seductive due to its supple attack, its freshness and its balance. Throughout the tasting experience, fullness and freshness are harmoniously combined, leading to a beautiful finish.

Service

For an optimal tasting experience, serve at 8°C.

Food and wine pairing

Ideal as an aperitif, this Brut champagne will complement your entire meal, both sweet or savoury dishes.
