"This great Moulin-à-Vent is as deep as it is elegant" (James Suckling)

Aromas of geosmin, raspberry blossoms, catkins, and crushed nettles. A wine for hikers: if you enjoy walking early in the morning, crossing small streams on old stone bridges, walking along paths overgrown with nettles and wild tangles of rose bushes, wild apple trees, and hawthorns, you'll understand what I mean. Sweet berries that stain your fingertips and lips, damp clay underfoot exhaling its earthy scent in the cool mist. Tannins like the curves of a violin, brilliant." (Jancis Robinson 2025)

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 there, 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!

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About wine:

The Michelon is denser and deeper, with finely structured tannins that guarantee excellent aging potential.

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!

About wine:

Aromas of geosmin, raspberry blossoms, catkins, and crushed nettles. A wine for hikers: if you enjoy walking early in the morning, crossing small streams on old stone bridges, walking along paths overgrown with nettles and wild tangles of rose bushes, crab apples, and hawthorns, you'll understand what I mean. Sweet berries that stain your fingertips and lips, damp clay underfoot exhaling its earthy scent in the cool mist. Tannins like the curves of a violin, brilliant. A dusty finish.

About wine:

This great Moulin-à-Vent is as deep as it is elegant, with tremendous originality at its core. It has impressive concentration, and its skillfully crafted tannins develop beautifully in a long, lively, and complete finish. Drink now or cellar.
