“‘A serious, dark wine with notes of charcoal and graphite; hints of fruit and tannins’ (Jancis Robinson)”

“It starts off gently and unassuming, but as it flows gracefully across the palate, it gains in expression and intensity. Although the striking aromas of blueberries are still somewhat subdued due to the wine’s youth, the mineral notes of wet stone are very pronounced in the long, well-structured finish.” (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:

Corcelette leaves one wondering, with its candied notes and firm tannins.

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!

Wine rated (2025 guide) 17++/20

About the wine:

This is a serious, dark wine, evoking charcoal and graphite; a hint of fruit and tannins. The tannins seem to have burrowed deep—deep into a heart of charcoal and lapis lazuli; shimmering with blue minerals and carbon dust. The fruit weaves its way through the tannins, its sweetness tinged with tannic bitterness, gradually developing strength and resilience. It is truly not ready yet. So much contained power, but it needs time.

About the wine:

It starts off gently and unassuming, but as it flows gracefully across your palate, it gains in expression and intensity. Although the striking aromas of blueberries are still shy due to the wine’s youth, the minerality of wet stone is very pronounced in the long, well-structured finish. It is already drinkable, but will reach its peak starting in 2026.
