You are greeted on the nose with suggestions of bramble and spice, gradually opening up to reveal red and black berry fruits, spice, leather and subtle floral notes.The palate is soft and supple, with cranberries and sweet red berry fruits upon entry. Fine silky tannins entwine a concentrated core of juicy black cherries, dark berry fruits, dried herbs and cocoa before trailing off to a long even finish.

Château Mouton Rothschild is the work of one man, the legendary Baron Philippe, who is solely responsible for this giant of Bordeaux. Taking charge in 1923 until his death in 1988, he created something the world will always be in debt for. He also started the tradition of getting an artist to design a label for every vintage, a tradition that continues to this day. In 2009, the wine almost transcends perfection. A quite low alcohol percentage given the ripeness of the fruit, the bouquet is reminiscent of cigar box and graphite with violets and cassis playing a part. The palate is both restrained and concentrated, a impressive result indeed. The structure of the wine is hidden somewhat by the exuberant fruit, yet it is that structure that will see this extraordinary wine cellar for the good part of half a century!

Reviews + Accolades Although this white 1er Cru Beaune has plenty of ripeness and creaminess, it also has bright lemon-curd character and pronounced chalky minerality that gives a wonderful, fine-grained texture. Long and very straight finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. - James Suckling, 93 Points. Whiffs of fresh churned butter and honey introduce this powerfully ripe, sun-drenched Chardonnay. The fleshy, voluminous wine shows the heat of the 2019 vintage through concentrated flavors of Meyer lemon and Mirabelle plum. Matured in oak casks for 14 to 18 months (with some new oak), the opulent, spicy sip should drink at peak from 2024 to 2035. - Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points. A wine that brings real depth and intensity, the 2019 Beaune 1er Cru Clos Des Mouches Blanc offers up a light gold hue as well as a terrific nose of grilled peach, honeyed stone fruits, toasted spices, and a kiss of background wood. This medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, textured 2019 has terrific overall balance, integrated acidity, and a great finish. It certainly surpasses the 2017 (which was the last vintage I tasted) and has loads to love. It should keep for a decade, but there's no need to delay gratification. - Jeb Dunnuck, 93 Points.

Maker: Domaine Mee Godard is the result of the passion and vision of Mee Godard, an exceptional winemaker whose journey from South Korea to the heart of Beaujolais has defined the success of the estate. After studying winemaking in Burgundy, Mee was drawn to Morgon for its distinctive terroir, particularly the revered slopes of the Côte du Py. It was here that she established her domaine, with the goal of producing wines that authentically express the unique character of the land. Her approach to winemaking is one of minimal intervention, allowing the natural attributes of the vineyard to shine through. By focusing on organic viticulture and sustainable practices, she ensures that the wines retain their purity and complexity, allowing the full potential of the grapes to be realised. Mee’s philosophy revolves around crafting wines that are both elegant and expressive, embodying the perfect balance between tradition and innovation.

Her commitment to excellence is matched only by her respect for the land, and her dedication to sustainable viticulture ensures that each bottle of Domaine Mee Godard wine is a true reflection of the estate’s history, terroir, and vision.

The vines at Domaine Mee Godard are predominantly over 60 years old, with deep roots that allow the plants to access the full richness of the soil. These older vines contribute to the wines’ complexity and depth, producing small yields of concentrated, flavorful fruit. The vineyard is farmed using organic principles, with an emphasis on soil health and minimal intervention.
