In 1911, the Champagne Revolt broke out, bringing together 6,000 winemakers determined to protect the authenticity of the grapes used in champagne production. The village of Aÿ, at the heart of this uprising, became a symbol of resistance when properties of merchants suspected of using grapes from outside the region were set on fire. In response to the scale of the riots, the government sent more than 40,000 soldiers to restore order.

February 11, 1911 marked a decisive turning point with the adoption of the first law requiring the mention "Vins originaires de la Champagne Viticole" (Wines from the Champagne Vineyards) on labels. This legal recognition initiated a lengthy process, paved with several successive laws, culminating in the official delimitation of the Champagne AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) zone in 1936.

For its 100th anniversary in 2021, the cooperative entered a new era and boldly broke its silence to share its history, expertise, and the excellence of its iconic brand, Champagne Collet. The Maison embarked on a major initiative to highlight its heritage by opening La Cité du Champagne Collet-Cogevi, a historical and cultural complex that includes the Cogevi House, Villa Collet dedicated to Art Deco and artists, a tour of the production site, and its 1882-1883 cellars, as well as a wine library with a collection of 30,000 bottles. In 2015, a Champagne trades museum and an auditorium were added. With this new historical milestone, COGEVI once again demonstrates its boldness and affirms its legitimacy in telling the story of a terroir that its members have passionately contributed to for nearly a century.
