Tasting note: 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. (90-92pts. Jeff Leve, Thewinecellarinsider.com)

Tasting note: Refined nose of fruit. Round tasty and compelling on the palate. Average length with a salty tang on finish. (86pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)
