Champagne Cuperly was founded in 1845 as a wine and spirits merchant. But in the early 20th century Robert Cuperly began acquiring vineyards in Verzy, one of the Grand Cru regions of the Reims Mountains appellations. He began producing and marketing his own champagne and today the third and fourth generations of the Cuperly family run the business. Anne-Sophie Cuperly and her husband Sebastien Lecca oversaw the construction of a new production center in 2008 in Prunay. Cuperly’s grapes come exclusively from 50 acres mostly in the Reims Mountains region, meaning that nearly all their wines are Grand Cru according to Champagne’s appellation system. Vineyards are planted to 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay. The estate makes vintage and non-vintage Champagne and produces about 800,000 bottles annually.
