Domaine Mee Godard - Moulin à Vent "Deschanes" 2023

This Moulin à Vent "Deschanes" has aelegant wet-stone acidity and restrained richness on the medium-bodied palate.

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.

Intense violet aroma and racy freshness for a Moulin-a-Vent. I love the interplay of fine tannins, elegant wet-stone acidity and restrained richness on the medium-bodied palate. Long, focused finish. The first vintage of this wine from a high-altitude section of this appellation with very stony, granitic soil. Drink or hold. 94 points - James Suckling.

The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent Deschanes comes from a 0.7-hectare parcel on sandy soils, located close to but at a higher altitude than Au Michelon. It has an open, transparent bouquet with airy red fruit tones. The palate is slightly chalky in texture with a touch of pure, tart red cherry fruit, light grip and a bright, crunchy finish. Drink this over the next five or six years. Neal Martin, Vinous.

 Please serve in big Pinot Noir glasses. 100% Gamay.

Technical notes

At Domaine Mee Godard, the vineyard is grown with the utmost care; organically and with the goal of using biodynamic practices as soon as the vineyard is ready. The yields are kept very low in order to increase concentration and capture each of the very different soil types available across Morgon. A high proportion of the bunch is used (50%) and the must undergoes a long maceration to infuse nicely. Fermentation is made in concrete tanks and, once finished, the wine undergoes a second fermentation and maturation in oak barrels for about 10 months for this vintage. The wines are then bottled without filtration.
