Château Godeau 2014

A very deep colour with a classy nose, charactéristic of the place where the wine is produced. Oriental spices come through with black fruit aromas ....

Les Escapades de Godeau

A deep , dark, purple colour and a sombre, intense nose with ripe fruit. the wine is massive on the palate with broad shoulders.... 

Château Godeau Ducarpe

A good general appearance. The colour is dark en clear, aromas of stone fruit and tangy fruit come largely to the fore on the nose ...

These tasting were made after the wines were bottled

Château Godeau 2011:


Very attractive deep colour with purple glints. An elegant nos which combines notes of sandalwood, white pepper and the blacked fruits, dark chocolate chips, a touch of liquorice and smoked bacon. Rich and full on the palate, its develops with volume revealing quite creamy fine-grained tannins, without any harshness or austerity. The finish is massive, dynamic and flavoursome. 

Château Godeau-Ducarpe 2011 :


A clear, deep ruby red colour. An expressive nose with spices coming through: pepper, pimento, mint and a toasted smoky note.
Quite broad in the attack on the palate, it is medium bodied becoming firmer and more virile as it develops on the mid-palate

Château Godeau 2010 :


A very deep, dark purple colour, showing no signs of age. Quiet expressive on the nose, extremely intense aromatically, with spice aromas to the fore (nutmeg, white pepper, curry) with black fruits in brandy (bilberries), liquorice and sandalwood. This sunny wines shows no heaviness or jammy fruit chracters.

The palate is broad, dens and rich in the attack.

Its tannic structure gains in tickness and depth. The tannins are very fine-grained. The finish is now more balanced with sweet warmth counterbalancing lively acidity. The whole is underpinned by a saline note.
