“The nose is intense, juicy, and peppery. The wine is ripe yet fresh. The oak provides a smooth, enveloping quality without being overpowering. The wine is dense and tight, with a structure of great intensity that calls for aging. A serious wine.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF)

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2018 guide) 16,5/20 (Reference wine)

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

About the wine:

A very structured wine with great elegance. Great finesse and a magnificent mouthfeel. A wine with aging potential.

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 wine:

The nose is intense, juicy, and peppery. The wine is ripe yet fresh. The oak provides a smooth, enveloping quality without being overpowering. The wine is dense and tight, with a structure of great intensity that will benefit from aging. A serious wine.

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. GAETAN C. Published on September 8, 2022

We can finally get a sense of it—notes of dark fruit and spices—it feels like we're in the Rhône (well, it's true, it's not far away!). Nice
