“ Favorite For this Beaujolais red wine with musky aromas: the 2018 Les Michelons from Domaine Mee Godard in the Moulin-à-Vent appellation. With a velvety appearance, the oak from the aging of the Moulin-à-Vent Les Michelons imparts musky aromas to the nose. Its full-bodied texture is supported by a vibrant effervescence that stimulates the taste buds. A wine best cellared before serving.” (La Revue du Vin de France – 2020)

About the estate:
COMMENTARY on 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 heir. 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!
