Mee Godard established her domaine in Morgon in February 2013 around three benchmark sites: Corcelette, Grand Cras and Cote du Py. The estate centres on old Gamay vines (some 70 years old) and an oenologist's approach to whole-cluster or partial-destemming fermentation with extended ageing in wood, producing structured Morgon described by Jancis Robinson as 'vivid, intense, defiant, arresting'.
