    What a strikingly original wine for this region! The smoked-bacon note in the nose would have made me think of the Northern Rhone in a totally blind tasting. On the palate there’s impressive creamy richness that makes me think of bacon fat sinking into good white bread. So much drive and energy at the finish, thanks to the very healthy, dry tannins.

    The 2020 Morgon Corcelette has turned out especially well, bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, forest floor, cracked pepper and petals. Medium to full-bodied, bright and succulent, with a fleshy core of fruit, powdery tannins and lively acids, it will offer a broad drinking window. Best After 2021

  • 93

    Ripe and juicy, this wine offers swathes of black fruits and a backdrop of tannins. Full of acidity and fruit, the wine is held together by a structure that is still softening.

    Grown on pink granite soil. A wealth of glowing purple fruit, this has impressive density along with very good acidity and persistence

Domaine Mee Godard, France

Mee’s passion for food and science led her to Oregon State University where she studied wine and then to enology school in Montpellier. She later worked at Maison Chanson, Domaine des Comtes Lafon and Chateau de Corton-Andre, then finally settled in Morgon.

“I happily discovered the Beaujolais several years ago. The beautiful scenery and its relatively unknown wines prompted me to settle in Morgon in 2013. I produce wines from the Morgon appellation which are known for their power and aging potential. My philosophy is to produce complex wines that are both elegant and alive.” – Mee Godard

Domaine Mee Godard currently has 5 hectares of vineyards in Morgon with 3 climates: Corcelette, Grand Cras and Cote du Py.

Delightfully playful, but also capable of impressive gravitas, Gamay is responsible for juicy, berry-packed wines. From Beaujolais, Gamay generally has three classes: Beaujolais Nouveau, a decidedly young, fruit-driven wine, Beaujolais Villages and Cru Beaujolais. The Villages and Crus are highly ranked grape growing communes whose wines are capable of improving with age whereas Nouveau, released two months after harvest, is intended for immediate consumption. Somm Secret—The ten different Crus have their own distinct personalities—Fleurie is delicate and floral, Côte de Brouilly is concentrated and elegant and Morgon is structured and age-worthy.

The bucolic region often identified as the southern part of Burgundy, Beaujolais actually doesn’t have a whole lot in common with the rest of the region in terms of climate, soil types and grape varieties. Beaujolais achieves its own identity with variations on style of one grape, Gamay.

Gamay was actually grown throughout all of Burgundy until 1395 when the Duke of Burgundy banished it south, making room for Pinot Noir to inhabit all of the “superior” hillsides of Burgundy proper. This was good news for Gamay as it produces a much better wine in the granitic soils of Beaujolais, compared with the limestone escarpments of the Côte d’Or.

Four styles of Beaujolais wines exist. The simplest, and one that has regrettably given the region a subpar reputation, is Beaujolais Nouveau. This is the Beaujolais wine that is made using carbonic maceration (a quick fermentation that results in sweet aromas) and is released on the third Thursday of November in the same year as harvest. It's meant to drink young and is flirty, fruity and fun. The rest of Beaujolais is where the serious wines are found. Aside from the wines simply labelled, Beaujolais, there are the Beaujolais-Villages wines, which must come from the hilly northern part of the region, and offer reasonable values with some gems among them. The superior sections are the cru vineyards coming from ten distinct communes: St-Amour, Juliénas, Chénas, Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, Chiroubles, Morgon, Regnié, Brouilly, and Côte de Brouilly. Any cru Beajolais will have its commune name prominent on the label.
