With its deep purple hue, this cuvée 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 wine that promises to age beautifully for a decade.

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 17.5/20 (2017 vintage) (Benchmark wine)
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, located 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 her legacy. 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, light 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!

A very good wine—definitely worth the wait. 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.

Review by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on October 30, 2020
Medium-deep to deep ruby color with a purple rim and plenty of purple still at the core. A radiant color! Something very interesting happens on the nose. At first, I smell a Bordeaux, Margaux-style. Primary terroir notes come through first, followed by fruit. Everything is still very compact and closed off. This might need a bit more aeration right now! …and it will definitely need a few years to develop. On the palate, an explosion of dark blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, along with blueberries and red currants. Followed by dark, spicy, and earthy notes. Also some barn-like and rustic notes. Deliciously pure. Lots of body and plenty of tannins, giving it great grip and backbone. Enormous concentration, actually, with lovely freshness that lends the wine elegance. Beautiful balance. The wine has tremendous aging potential. It’s wonderful to open a bottle now while it’s still young, but it will truly come into its own after about 5 years of bottle aging. Peak in 2025, drinkable through 2030. This has the potential to become truly great. Score: 17.5+/20

Review by Mr. ROMAIN L. Published on October 17, 2020
As a longtime fan of Côte du Py wines, I'm very surprised by the excellent ratings in various guides, as these don't measure up to other Côte du Py wines.
