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. She strives to create wines that reflect the essence of the Morgon terroir—wines that are complex, with both power and finesse, and that evolve gracefully over time. 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. This hands-off approach allows the natural character of each vintage to flourish, creating wines that captivate with their depth, complexity, and refinement. Vineyard: Domaine Mee Godard's vineyard spans six hectares in the esteemed Morgon appellation, one of the most revered wine regions in Beaujolais. Located on the slopes of the Côte du Py, the vineyard enjoys an ideal terroir for growing Gamay and Chardonnay, the region’s signature grape varieties. The soil is primarily granite, with a mix of minerals that gives the wines their characteristic freshness and minerality. The vineyard benefits from the cooling influences of the Monts du Beaujolais, providing a climate that encourages slow ripening and retains the natural acidity of the grapes, which is crucial for producing wines of great balance and longevity. 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. Mee Godard’s dedication to sustainability is evident in the vineyard’s management practices, ensuring that each vintage reflects the purity of the land.

Product Information: Paul Chavy is the son of the renowned Burgundy vigneron Jean-Louis Chavy. Paul set up a new and prestigious négoce business enabling the family estate to offer a wider range of wines while creating opportunities to work with different terroirs and from Saint Aubin up as far as Gevrey Chambertin. The 2022 Gevrey Chambertin opens with an enticing bouquet red and dark berries, dried herbs, and turned earth. Powerful dark fruits on the palate, vibrant acidity balances the wine, with fine firm tannins in tow. Excellent ageing potential. 100% de-stemmed fruit given a cold maceration for several days before fermentation on skins for 27 days with only a gentle daily pump-over (no hand plunging). Aged on fine lees in barrel, all 228 litre barrels for the red wines, for 12 months before blending back in tank and bottled un-fined after a very light filtration. Maker: The Chavy family has been rooted in Puligny-Montrachet for over 200 years, but it was not until 1986 that Gérard Chavy began to estate-bottle his wines, previously selling them to négociants. Following Gérard's retirement around 2005, the estate was divided into two separate entities managed by his sons, Jean-Louis and Alain Chavy. Jean-Louis Chavy has since developed a state-of-the-art winemaking facility, complete with a temperature-controlled cellar situated at the base of the village. This allows him to work comfortably while ensuring the wines are stored in optimal conditions. His son, Paul Chavy, has been part of the estate since before the pandemic and has embarked on creating his own range of wines, sourcing fruit from regions including Saint-Aubin and as far as Gevrey-Chambertin. The Chavy family continues to uphold a legacy of quality and tradition in their winemaking, offering a tantalising glimpse into the heart of Burgundy. For father and son terroir expression is paramount, with wines crafted in a consistent manner allowing the unique soil and exposure to shine through. Jean-Louis and Paul Chavy’s wines are effortless and unforced, showcasing exceptional fruit purity and a clear expression of terroir in each 1er cru. With his son Paul now working full-time at the estate after completing his winemaking studies, the added support in both the vineyard and cellar translates to even greater precision and clarity in every bottle. These wines embody a classic style, aging and developing gracefully over time. Quantities are always limited, and they sell out quickly upon release. So best to grab them while you can. The Philosophy: Paul Chavy returned to the family estate in 2020, bringing valuable insights from his studies and professional experiences. He has established a prestigious négoce business to expand their range of wines and deepen his understanding of various terroirs, villages, and crus. For the white wines, Paul employs a meticulous vinification process, featuring long, slow pressing in a pneumatic press to preserve the finest lees. The wines age in 350-litre barrels from a variety of cooperages for 11 months, followed by an additional 6 to 7 months in tank before bottling, with only light filtration and fining when necessary. The red wines are crafted with care, using 100% de-stemmed grapes. After a cool maceration of 5-7 days in stainless steel, they undergo 17-22 days of fermentation with gentle pump-overs and no punching down. After 12 months in 228-litre barrels, the wines are blended in stainless steel tanks for another 6-7 months before bottling, without fining and with light filtration. This meticulous approach, combined with Paul’s fresh insights and growing experience across new terroirs, showcases the domaine's versatility while delivering the exceptional wines they are renowned for.
