Rated estate (2021 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

COMMENTARY: The estate: 5 hectares in Morgon, in the finest lieux-dits—Corcelettes, Grand Cras, and Côte de Py! That was in 2013. Since settling in, through thick and thin, Mee Godard has been moving forward, making progress, and building. A hectare of Moulin-à-Vent here, a new building there, and wines that continue to refine themselves. The Godard style features 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 winery (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these wineries)

About the estate:

Trained as an oenologist but with no background in winemaking, Mee fulfilled her dream in February 2013 when she single-handedly took over the plots of a winemaker who had no successor. 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. Published on June 19, 2022

White Beaujolais at its finest. Mee Godard brings out the best in this Chardonnay. Notes of honey, a hint of butter, lovely roundness, and a finish that invites you to take another sip.
