Domaine Mee Godard Morgon Corcelette 2023
Eighty-year-old vines in the famed Corcelette vineyard make up the blend of this brooding yet supremely elegant wine. The age combined with very high-density plantings (11,000 vines per hectare) restricts yields, leading to tannic, concentrated fruit easily molded into Mee's vin de garde style.
The deep fuchsia color pops out of the glass, indicating it's being drunk a touch young to truly display its eventual kaleidoscopic capabilities. Requisite licorice sits at the core, surrounded by graphite, potted earth, stony shale, cola, and only a hint of fruit—blueberry, raspberry—along with some wood and a touch of baking spices. Tannins are super-fine, slightly sandy with sharp little tightly knit points, so high they almost block the storm of acidity raging across the palate.
An inky concentration of flavors along with the taut structure betrays its intention to sit in a cellar for some five years before it unfolds. Even now I loved this wine and recommend a long decant if you can't wait a few years to enjoy it later.
