Tasting Notes
At once fresh and well-structured, this is an excellent introduction to the Morgon appellation, but you have to like tannins to really get this. I love the violet aroma and the velvety texture in the crisp finish. A cuvee of wines from the Corcelette and Cote du Py sites. Drink or hold. Extracts from notes of James Suckling.
Mee Godard is one of the most exciting and cerebral winemakers in Beaujolais, based in Morgon, where she has quickly established herself as a benchmark for deeply structured, terroir-driven Gamay. After studying enology in Burgundy and Oregon, she founded her domaine in 2013, acquiring old-vine parcels in Morgon’s most esteemed climats—Corcelette, Grand Cras, and the revered Côte du Py. These sites, planted largely in poor, weathered schist and granite, provide naturally low yields and fruit of remarkable intensity and mineral depth.
Farming is meticulous and effectively organic, with a strong emphasis on soil vitality and biodiversity. Godard harvests by hand, often later than her neighbours, seeking full phenolic maturity. In the cellar she works with precision and restraint: mostly whole-cluster fermentations with native yeasts, long macerations, and élevage in a combination of concrete, neutral barrels and large foudres. Sulphur is used sparingly, and the focus throughout is on clarity, purity and expression of site.
Her wines are known for their tension, dark-fruited depth and serious tannic architecture—Morgons built for ageing, with a Burgundian sense of refinement. Across the range, from the supple Villages cuvées to the profound Côte du Py, Mee Godard’s wines consistently rank among the most distinctive and sought-after in the region, reflecting an exacting philosophy and a deep connection to Morgon’s schistous hillsides.
