Château Grange Cochard: craftsmanship and old vines

Château Grange Cochard is situated in the heart of the Morgon, one of the most respected crus of Beaujolais. The vineyards cover a total of 9.5 hectares, including a plot in the famous Côtes de Py. The soil consists of a mixture of sand and loam, on which vines averaging 50 years old have their roots deep in the ground. The Château Grange Cochard Morgon ‘Les Charmes’ is crafted with utmost precision using a combination of traditional and modern techniques. The hand-harvested grapes are still selected on a vibrating sorting table. Half of the grapes undergo carbonic maceration, resulting in abundant fruit expression and softer tannins. After fermentation, which lasts 15 to 20 days, the wine ages for several months in concrete tanks for additional refinement.

Sustainable Viticulture with a Vision for the Future

Het wijnhuis werkt momenteel aan de omschakeling en een cetirficaat voor biologische wijnbouw. Momenteel wordt er al organic worked. The grapes are processed with minimal intervention, and temperature-controlled vinification ensures optimal extraction of aromas. Pressing is carried out with extreme care to avoid harsh tannins. This attention to detail and respect for nature results in a wine with excellent aging potential of at least ten years. Morgon wines are known for their complexity and powerful fruit structure, qualities that are beautifully expressed in this wine.
