"The intense burlat cherry color swirls around the glass, while the nose reveals an intense patchouli fragrance on aeration. The juice is suave, with a mineral freshness worthy of its Côte du Py terroir. A wine to look forward to. (Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2020 - RVF)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2021) 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!

About the wine:

The intense cherry burlat color sweeps around the glass, while the nose reveals an intense patchouli fragrance on aeration. The juice is suave, with a mineral freshness worthy of its Côte du Py terroir. A wine to look forward to.

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 going from strength to strength!
