"The 2016 Godeau is dark, virile and imposing. Layers of intense dark fruit fill out the wine's broad, ample frame. Clay-rich soils yield a Saint-Émilion built on breadth and textural resonance. Super-ripe dark cherry, chocolate, leather, licorice, smoke and spice infuse the deep, resonant finish. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Julien Lavenu consults. Tasted two times."

"The 2016 Godeau is plush, dark and inviting. Dark fruit, chocolate, menthol, licorice and savory herb notes flesh out in this ample, creamy Saint-Émilion. This is an especially resonant style. Much of that can be attributed to clay-rich soils that give the wine volume. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Julien Lavenu is the consulting winemaker."

"The 2016 Godeau is owned by the granddaughter of Mme. Gasqueton, the late owner of Calon-Ségur, and located just behind Troplong Mondot. This has a very rich bouquet - perhaps excessively so – that seems to have lost a bit of definition. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe black fruit laced with tar and cedar, but the finish feels a little labored compared to its peers. I like this out of barrel, but I wonder if the élevage has pushed it too far."
