Mee Godard, Morgon Corcelette 2021
Variety: Gamay
Before Mee Godard moved to France, she studied wine in Oregon, then moved her way to enology school in Montpellier. Her love for the Beaujolais area grew after working for several Burgundy based wineries. Beaujolais is one of the few places in France where an aspiring winemaker can start up their own winery. Mee is a one-person show that prunes, farms, and runs a strict cellar. She is part of a new wave of talented individuals that are actively paving a path for the future generation of winemakers by setting new trends. Everything is done by hand in the vineyard and yields are kept low. She is slowly converting the agriculture to biodynamic methods, though already practices organic. Her style involves using both carbonic and non-carbonic maceration for deeply structured wine. Keep an eye out for her Morgon wines of Beaujolais because she continues to deliver.
Corcelette has a reputation as a famous vineyard in the northerly area of Morgon. The average age of the vines is 70 years; they're densely planted and low yielding. This is a wine that can function as the picnic wine and still grace fine dining tables. It pairs beautifully with food, but doesn't need it. This is her most approachably priced bottle.
