(2017 Vintage Notes)

With its deep purple color, this wine reveals a magnificent, refined bouquet. The fruit intoxicates the palate, which is swept away by its silky texture and well-integrated tannins. The lingering finish makes your mouth water. A great bottle that promises to age beautifully for a decade.

Wine rated 17.5/20 (2017 vintage) (Benchmark wine)

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!

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. ANDRE C. Published on February 1, 2026

A very good wine—definitely one to hold onto. During the tasting, some experienced tasters thought it was from the Languedoc, and I even think some thought it was from the Southwest (Malbec, Tannat...). I tasted my last bottle in October 2025. Magnificent—the perfect moment: 5/5.
