Château Grange Cochard Morgon 'Cote du Py' Gamay 2016

From old vines grown at the very top of the most renowned terroir of Morgon, the Côte du Py, on the crushed blue schist of the ancient volcano. 

Whilst this is a very old property and chateau the new owners (since 2008) have in a very short time established themselves among the very top producers of this highly prized appellation. With a relatively small vineyard area of just 6.5 hectares of very old and established vines to tend to, the care and attention to detail here has been very impressive yielding widespread critical acclaim.

All of their vineyards are located very close to their winery and chateau and their vineyards are all farmed organically (not certified). The wines demand some time to show their best (as most top Morgon wines do).

"Aromas of cherries, pomegranate and dried flowers mingle with subtle soil tones in a complex bouquet, introducing the 2016 Morgon Côte du Py, a medium to full-bodied, velvety wine with a deep, multidimensional mid-palate, considerable concentration and tangy balancing acids, concluding with a long finish. This is a terrific Côte du Py from James and Sarah Wilding, and it is well worth seeking out." 94 points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate September 2018
