Mee Godard Morgon Corcelette 2024

Mee Godard established her domaine in Morgon in 2013, acquiring old-vine parcels across several of the appellation's most distinguished lieux-dits. Corcelette, in the northwestern part of Morgon, is characterised by sandy soils derived from decomposed granite, producing Gamay of considerable perfume and fine structure. Godard's cuvée draws on old vines, averaging approximately 80 years of age, from southeast-facing slopes around Bellevue and Montillet. The vineyards have been certified organic since 2023, following a conversion begun in 2017. The 2024 was harvested by hand, with individual parcels fermented separately using partially destemmed fruit and macerations of approximately 15–20 days. Maturation took place in oak barrels and demi-muids for around eleven months, followed by a short period in tank. A challenging, relatively cool and wet growing season produced wines of moderate alcohol and pronounced freshness, with Godard reporting yields of approximately 25 hl/ha. The wine offers dark cherry, crushed strawberry and blueberry, accompanied by floral aromas and delicate spice. Medium-bodied and savoury, it has fine, powdery tannins, lively acidity and a restrained, persistent finish.
