Tasting notes
A vintage that saw a lot of rain. Mee Godard told me that from May to July it was raining almost every day, with cool temperatures. She picked mid September. Tasted straight after the 2022, the nose comes out of the glass more savoury, crunching with herb stems. A mycorrhizal scent, geosmin. And the wine is more delicate. Wild strawberries, sour cherry. High-wire acidity and very very slender, high-wire tannins. Fresh in a crushed-leaf fragrant way. Arcs high in the mid palate, but not with fruit. There is something more mineral stony at its core. Sucking on bitterness. Leaves the same imprint of texture as the 2022, perhaps even a little silkier, on the finish. Scarlet-line length. (TC)

The 2021 Morgon Corcelette, a blend of four parcels, has a lovely nose with more red fruit than the Au Michelon: raspberry, touches of mulberry, and light iris flower scents in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, lightly spiced. It is quite linear and strict with a fresh saline finish. Harmonious and pure, just a delightful Morgon from Godard. (NM)
Full bottle 1,311 g. In conversion to organic certification. Wild strawberries and pencil sharpenings take this slight, tense but beautifully balanced wine from fruit to herb to stone and back to fruit. A circlet of stone dipped in sour-cherry juice and brushed with forest moss. Biting tang of raw rose hips. A lick of rusty iron presses the finish into a lean, precise curlicue. An exquisitely understated Morgon, just on the right side of monastic. (TC)
