"As I noted last year, the CĂ´te du Py bottling from Château Grange Cochard hails from the oldest vines on the estate- one hundred and one years of age (in 2011) and planted at the very summit of this famous vineyard. The wine is brilliant, offering up a vibrant aromatic constellation of black cherries, plums, chocolate, stony, dark soil tones (the granitic base of CĂ´te du Py is far more evident here than in the blended, Vieilles Vignes bottling) woodsmoke and a touch of cedar in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still quite primary, with a rock solid core of pure fruit, a lovely sense of the vintageâs sappiness, firm tannins and simply great length and grip on the youthful and very serious finish. Great juice."
