“The nose is intense, juicy, and peppery. The wine is ripe yet fresh. The oak provides a smooth, enveloping quality without being overpowering. The palate is dense and concentrated, with a structure of great intensity that will benefit from 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, setting the standard in its sector)

About the wine:

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

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!

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 concentrated, with a structure of fine intensity that will benefit from aging. A serious wine.

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. GAETAN C. Published on September 8, 2022

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