A rapidly rising superstar in Beaujolais. Mee Godard is an essential reference point for high quality Beaujolais. Mee earned a biochemistry degree and Masters specialising in wine science at Oregon State University and the Diplôme National d'Oenologue in Montpellier, France.
Mee Godard didn’t grow up in a winemaking family, so she had to carve her own path. She headed to Burgundy, interned at Maison Chanson, Domaines des Comtes Lafon and Corton André, and then in Champagne before acquiring five hectares in Morgon's most famed lieut dits, Côte du Py, Corcelette, and Grand Cras.
Grapes are hand picked, hand sorted and, depending on the vintage, she ferments about two-thirds with stems. They undergo a three-week maceration in concrete tanks and then age in a mix of old and new barrels and foudres for 12 to 18 months.
