Domaine Mee Godard - Morgon 2023

This Morgon is appealing with wild strawberries, lavender and briar notes.

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.

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. 93 points - James Suckling.

The 2023 Morgon, a cuvée that Godard does not make every year, is a blend made at the end of aging. It has an appealing nose, with wild strawberry, briar and light lavender aromas in the background. The palate is well balanced, with a fine bead of acidity. It's quite fleshy in style, with decent substance toward the straightforward finish. This is ready to go now but will drink well for five or six years. 90 points - Neal Martin, Vinous.
