" Favorite for this Beaujolais red wine with musky aromas: the 2018 Les Michelons cuvée from the Mee Godard estate in the Moulin-à-Vent appellation. Beneath its velvety appearance, the woodiness of the Moulin-à-Vent Les Michelons aging process tantalizes the nose with musky aromas. Its thick texture is supported by a vibrant effervescence that stimulates the taste buds. A cuvée to be cellared before serving." (La Revue du Vin de France - 2020)

Rated estate (2021 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
COMMENTARY Retirement: 5 hectares in Morgon, in the most beautiful locations, Corcelettes, Grand Cras, and Côte de Py! That was in 2013. Since settling here, year in, year out, Mee Godard has been moving forward, progressing, and building. A hectare of Moulin-à-Vent here, a new building there, and wines that continue to improve. The Godard style is very pure wines, never sterile, airy but structured, which exude their origin. Add to that a richness that was perhaps lacking in her first vintages and which is the cornerstone of the superb 2017s. Everything is good at Godard, it's a shame there's so little of it!

About the estate:
A trained oenologist with no background in winemaking, Mee realized her dream in February 2013 when she took over the plots of a winemaker who had given up. Her small estate consists of very old vines in the best terroirs of Morgon (Corcelette, Grand Cras, Côte du Py). A Moulin-à-Vent cuvée was added to the range in 2016. With her free-spirited but well-defined wines, Mee Godard is going from strength to strength!
