From just below Cote du Py, the one-hectare plot averages 40 years of age of densely-planted vines. Generally a wine of good density and darker fruit, Grand Cras is one of Mee's best annually.

"The Grand Cras is lower in tone. Also very aromatic, but a bit darker with a powerful mineral note and lifted acidity. The texture is more structured with firmer tannins and really persistent minerality. This is a serious wine." said Noah Dranow, Director of Sales & Logistics

Domaine Mee Godard

Mee first attended school at Oregon State studying wine and finishing her Masters studying plant physiology, before moving to France and going to Enology school in Montpellier. She then went to work for various Domaines including Comtes Lafon before settling in Morgon in 2013. She bought some incredibly beautiful parcels in Corcelette, Cote du Puy, as well as Moulin-á-Vent, the "Romanee-Conti of Beaujolais." Mee is doing it all solo, from all the work in the vineyards to putting the wine in bottle.

Mee is working her vineyards in a biodynamic and organic approach. She typically uses a significant portion of whole cluster and has varying fermentation and aging vessels. All of these decisions are made based on each years; harvest and vinifying individual parcels. She found a middle ground in her style that is neither "making Beaujolais" nor " making Burgundy". Her wines are lively and energetic, bold with depth and layers that make them beautiful for near term drinking or able to lay in the cellar and gracefully develop, a true showcase of the unique terroir of Beaujolais.

The 2021 Morgon Grand Cras is a stately wine, reserved but holding a wealth of depth. The wine presents with notes of warm spices, red and black cherries, with a back end of dried herbs and fennel root, structured with tight-knit, anchoring tannins that bind the medium to full-bodied wine in suspension, leading to a precise, mouth-watering finish that lingers with tension. This wine will benefit from some time in the bottle for its elements to assimilate.

The 2021 Morgon Grand Cras suffered a lot of loss as Godard told me it is sensitive to rain and consequently there are no stems used in this cuvée. Maybe because of that, this has quite a pinot-like bouquet of redcurrant and raspberry fruit, plus a touch of brown spices. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, quite strict. Towards the finish it attenuates a little. Very fine, although I prefer the Corcelette by direct comparison.
