“'Passerelle 577 reaffirms its place among the region’s finest wines' (RVF)”

“A giant of minerality and fresh elegance, despite its abundant power and compact tannic core. Lots of energy and density on the palate, medium-bodied, with wonderful freshness in the very long, well-structured finish. Aging potential of several decades.” (James Suckling 2025)

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, 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!

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

Finally, Passerelle 577 reaffirms its place among the estate’s finest vintages, with an athletic, slender style in which minerality takes precedence over fruit. You can age it for at least 15 years.

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!

About the wine:

A subtle nose—at this stage (very young), it’s difficult to get a sense of the wine based solely on the nose. But the intensity on the palate is almost explosive. Almost, were it not for the iron-clad restraint of the tannins. Plums and blackberries, smoky, earthy minerality, and enticing petrichor. A peacock’s tail of iridescent flavors that defiantly stands up to the tannins, precisely crafted for a long and glorious future.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 97/100

About the wine:

A wine of immense minerality and fresh elegance, despite its abundant power and dense tannic core. It offers great vitality and density on the palate, with medium body, as well as a wonderful freshness in the very long, well-structured finish. It has the potential to age for several decades. It can be enjoyed now, but will reach its peak starting in 2026.
