Tasting Notes

This Moulin à Vent "Michelon" is a reference, complex, powerful and structured.

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.

This great Moulin-a-Vent is as deep as it is elegant, with terrific rooty originality. It has impressive concentration, the expertly crafted tannins building beautifully in the long, crisp and complete finish. Drink or hold. 95 points - James Suckling.

The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent Au Michelon has a similar airy bouquet as the Deschanes. The palate is fresh with crunchy red fruit tones, fine sapidity and just a light bitterness on the finish. This is one of the more accessible Moulin-à-Vents that will give pleasure in the immediate future. 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.
