Domaine Mee Godard Morgon 'Côte du Py' 2022

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.

"Mee Godard's Côte du Puy has always been a wine of midnight blue for me: iridescent black ink, cobalt, gravel and shadows. The 2022 is, as always, fierce and proud and head-tossing and with a heart that tastes as if it's been carved from storm-lashed black marble. But there is a difference. A relenting. A glimmer of tendresse. The lines are finer, perhaps even showing kohl-smudge softness. The wine is finer. More transparent. The tannins run through the wine like a stenographer, tracking the story with fast, sparse precision. There is a hush of violet. Iris flower against a cold, old, wet stone wall. Fragrant. The black-blue turning violet of light in the skin in the heartbeat pause before sunrise."
