Mee Godard 'Corcelette' Morgon, Beaujolais, France 2021
An oenologist by training, Mee Godard 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.
