Château Godeau (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
With its refined, medium-bodied character you are quickly able to dig into all of its layers of sweet, espresso tinged, polished, lush, ripe, dark red fruits. There is more than enough fruit and character to provide at least 15 years of pleasure. But, give it a year or two in the cellar for the oak to better integrate.

Château Godeau (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Godeau is located not far from Tertre Roteboeuf and Troplong Mondot. Stephane Derenoncourt started consulting the property in 2007. 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc produce the blend. Deep ruby in color, with a licorice, mineral, floral and jammy black raspberry aromatic profile, the wine ends with a fleshy, ripe black plum filled finish. The wine will be aged in 33% new oak for 12 months. If prices remain low, this could be a strong value play in 2010. 90-92 Pts 4,224 Views Tasted Apr 22, 2011 |
