On the palate, this wine is distinguished by its velvety texture and harmonious structure, delicately blending supple tannins and lively acidity. The finish is long and elegant. This vibrant and refined 2022 vintage is a magnificent representation of Mee Godard’s continuity in the art of winemaking.

About the Winery & wine-making:
This Morgon "Côte du Py" 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. The “Côte du Py” vineyard is one of six climats* of the cru of Morgon. The vineyard is located South of the town of Villié-Morgon on blue clay and volcanic soils.
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.
