Adorned with an intense violet color, this cuvée reveals a magnificent bouquet of finesse. The pulp intoxicates the palate, which capsizes on contact with a silky texture and tamed tannins. The persistence makes us salivate. A great bottle that promises ten years of cellaring.

Domaine Mee Godard
Morgon
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 17.5/20 (Vintage 2017) (Reference 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!

Domaine noté (guide 2020) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated 18/20 + Favorite (Vintage 2017) (Grand vin)
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!

A very good wine, definitely worth waiting for. At the tasting, some good tasters thought Languedoc and I think even South-West (malbec, tannat ...)

Note and review by M. MATHIEU W. Published on 30/10/2020
Middeldiepe tot diepe ruby kleur met paarse rand en nog veel paars in de kern. Stralende kleur! Aan de neus doet zich iets heel interessants voor. In eerste instantie ruik ik een Bordeaux, type Margaux. Primair terroir, dan pas fruit. Alles is nog heel compact en gesloten. Dit vraagt nu misschien om wat meer beluchting! ...en het vraagt sowieso een paar jaar tijd. In de mond explosie aan donker cassis- en braamfruit, ook bosbessen en rode aalbessen. Gevolgd door donkere, kruidige en aardse tonen. Ook wat stal en boerse tonen. Lekker puur. Veel matières en nog veel tannine waardoor veel grip en ruggengraat. Enorme concentratie eigenlijk met mooie frisheid die de wijn dan weer elegantie verleent. Mooie balans. De wijn beschikt over een geweldig bewaar-/rijpingspotentieel. Nu in z'n jeugdfase geweldig om een fles te openen, maar wordt pas echt mooi na een jaar of 5 flesrust. Hoogtepunt 2025, houdbaar tot 2030. Dit kan echt groots worden. Score: 17,5+/20

As a regular fan of Côte du Py, I am very surprised by the excellent scores in the various guides, as they are not up to the standard of other Côte du Py wines.

It's a lord! A jewel of flavors, combining freshness and concentration, it's close to the quintessential Beaujolais king. Drink at the right temperature!
