Rated estate (2021 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)

About the estate:

COMMENTARY: The estate: 5 hectares in Morgon, on the finest vineyards—Corcelettes, Grand Cras, and Côte de Py! That was in 2013. Since settling in, through thick and thin, Mee Godard has been moving forward, improving, and building. An acre of Moulin-à-Vent here, a new building there, and wines that continue to refine themselves. The Godard style consists of very pure wines—never sterile, airy yet structured—that exude their terroir. Add to that a richness that was perhaps lacking in his early vintages and which happens to be the cornerstone of the superb 2017s. Everything is excellent at Godard; it’s a shame there’s so little of it!

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Trained as an oenologist but with no prior experience in winemaking, Mee fulfilled her dream in February 2013 by taking over the vineyards of a retiring winemaker on her own. Her small estate consists of very old vines in Morgon’s finest terroirs (Corcelette, Grand Cras, Côte du Py). A Moulin-à-Vent cuvée was added to the lineup in 2016. With her free-spirited yet well-defined wines, Mee Godard is gaining momentum!

Review by Mr. THOMAS L. Posted on June 19, 2022

A magnificent Beaujolais Village. Good structure, fruity but not overly so, with a lovely finish. All of Mee Godard’s talent comes through the moment the bottle is opened.
