Domaine Mee Godard is a rising star in Beaujolais, known for producing concentrated and terroir-driven wines. An oenologist by training, Mee realized her dream by taking over the plots of an old winemaker (André Meyran) without heirs in 2012. Mee Godard is a one woman show that prunes, farms, and runs a precise cellar. She is poised to be a big part of our perception of Morgon as the identity of Beaujolais continues to evolve with a new generation.
- Winemaker: Mee Godard
- Farming: Organic
- Variety: Gamay
- Terroir: The Corcelette vineyard is on south-east-facing granite slopes from two vineyards called Bellevue and Montillet. The vines, an average of 70 years old, are planted very densely at 11,000 vines/ha (4,500 vines/acre) and gobelet trained.
- Vinification: Mee prefers to use a fair amount of whole bunches. It depends on the vintage and the parcel but she usually de-stems only about half of the fruit. The length of her macerations vary but on average last 12 to 16 days in cement. She is aging her wines in a combination of vessels, always searching for the perfect balance of each for any given vineyard. She has mostly neutral barrels, foudre and demi-muids in her cellar.
- AGING: 12 months in neutral French oak to preserve the fruit and allow for subtle complexity.
- TASTING NOTES: Lush red fruit, ripe cherry, and raspberry, with earthy undertones, silky tannins, and a long mineral finish.
