Gourmandise evident on the nose. A delicate, supple style. The wine is elegant, tactile and precise in texture. Great Morgon.

Domaine Mee Godard
Morgon
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2018 guide) 16/20 (Vintage 2017) (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (2021 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
COMMENTS retirement: 5 hectares in Morgon, on the most beautiful lieux-dits, Corcelettes, Grand Cras and Côte de Py! That was in 2013. Since he set up, Mee Godard has been making progress and building. A hectare of Moulin-à-Vent here, a new building there, and wines that continue to refine. The Godard style is all about pure, never sterile, airy yet structured wines that exude their origins. Add to this a greediness that may have been lacking in his earlier vintages, and you have the keystone of the superb 2017s. It's a shame there's so little of it!

Rated wine (guide 2017) 16/20 (Vintage 2017) (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Trained as an oenologist but with no winemaking history, Mee made her dream come true when, in February 2013, she single-handedly took over the plots of an unsuccessful winemaker. Her pocket-sized estate is made up of very old vines in the best Morgon terroirs (Corcelette, Grand Cras, Côte du Py). A moulin-à-vent cuvée was added to the range in 2016. Mee Godard's free-spirited yet well-defined wines are on the rise!

Drunk in July 2021, the wine is still fermenting. It's hard to find a Gamay de Cru here, what's more, from a Corcelette terroir. VERY disappointed.

Beautiful, dense color Nose of black cherries and black fruit (blackberries). Lovely mouthfeel, with the same aromas, good length and liveliness that brings out the fruit (a little closed compared with the bottle drunk in July and August).

Note and review by M. MATHIEU W. Published on 31/10/2020
Middeldiepe tot diepe ruby kleur met paarse rand en nog veel paars in de kern. Stralende kleur! Aan de neus ook hier nog aardig compact en gesloten. Belooft wel inhoud en karakter. Vraagt om beluchting en wat jaartjes tijd. In de mond veel sappig rood fruit, onrijpe bramen, frisse zuren, crispy. Een explosie aan fruit en de fijne zuren en fijnkorrelige tannine zorgen voor veel grip en ruggengraat en dus bewaarpotentieel, want fruit en matières heeft de wijn genoeg. Dit wordt over een jaar of 5 heel lekker!!!! Dit is een krachtige wijn, masculiener dan de Côte du Py van hetzelfde domein. Ook hier betreft het een absolute top-Morgon Score: 17+/20
