Mee Godard Morgon Cote Du Py Passerelle 577 2023
Importers thoughts - This Morgon "Passerelle 577" is powerful and elegant with a calculated precision.
Domaine Mee Godard allows us a glimpse of the future of the Beaujolais region at its best. It's a small Domaine of six hectares of vineyards, mostly located in the sumptuous Morgon. The uncompromising attitude established by Mee, coupled with very old vines across the estate (60 years of age on average) produces state of the art, profound, complex wines with lots of character. The "Passerelle 577" pays tribute to Mee's origins in South Korea and the country she now calls home: France. As for the number, it's nothing less than her lucky number. This cuvée is made from an over performing part of her Côte de Py vineyard, where the berries are naturally smaller.
Critics thoughts - A giant of minerality and cool elegance in spite of its abundant power and compact tannic core. So much drive and density on the medium-bodied palate, also a wonderful freshness in the very long, seriously structured finish. Decades of aging potential ahead of it. Drinkable now but best from 2026. 97 points - James Suckling.
The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py Cuvée Passerelle 577 is slightly higher-toned on the nose than the regular cuvée, with cassis, blood orange and raspberry coulis aromas blossoming in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a touch of sapid red berry fruit. This is fine-boned for a Morgan (perhaps quite Moulin-à-Vent like?), with plenty of mineralité defining the finish. This is another impressive wine from Mee Godard. 92 points - Neal Martin, Vinous.
