Domaine Mee Godard - Beaujolais Blanc 2023

This Beaujolais Blanc is an expressive chardonnay that's easy to enjoy.

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.

A remarkably ripe and texturally complex wine for a white Beaujolais. Could almost be Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru. So many peaches and apricots on the creamy, medium-bodied palate. Long, polished finish. Limited production from a site with alluvial soil close to Belleville. Matured in a concrete tank. Drink or hold. 94 points - James Suckling.

The 2023 Beaujolais Blanc comes from vines in Belleville and is vinified/aged in concrete. It offers yellow plum and lemon verbena aromas on the nose, with touches of lime underneath. The palate is well balanced, with a lovely texture and a keen line of acidity. Neal Martin, Vinous.
