Tasting Notes
Bullace plums and the smell of aged DOP balsamic vinegar and wild blackberry syrup and cobbler’s glue. Meaty and powerful, tannins, taut as the muscles of a racing horse. Taut and dry and demanding. Wild, wild dark-berried, lambent fruit. Pure and fierce. Shining. Rustling tannins like the wings of a thousand starlings. This is gorgeous now, but will cellar for years. 17.5pts - Tamlyn Currin for Jancis Robinson MW.
Domaine Mee Godard allows us a glimpse of the future of the Beaujolais region at its best. It's a small Domaine of six hectares of vineyards, mostly located in the sumptuous Morgon. The uncompromising attitude established by Mee, coupled with very old vines across the estate (60 years of age on average) produces state of the art, profound, complex wines with lots of character. The 'Corcelette " vineyard is located at the Northwestern end of Morgon with sandy and granitic soils. The bouquet sets the tone for a powerful wine, alluring with notes of blackberries, bitter cherry and cloves adding to the depth of flavour. The palate reflects the nose's silky structure with dry extracts and an earthy finish. This is elegant yet powerful with fine lines. It can be paired with game, charcoaled rib eye, charcuterie and a cow cheese. It will benefit being decanted for 35 minutes before serving and it can be kept up until 2023+. Please serve in big Pinot Noir glasses. 100% Gamay. *Climat refers to a named plot of vineyard. - Importer Note
