The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Nestled next to Saint-Émilion, Château Cru Godard is carefully tended like a garden by the Richard family. With organic farming and biodynamic practices, old vines, fruit trees, woodlands, and meadows, every aspect of this estate reflects a deep respect for nature. Minimal-intervention winemaking—without added yeasts—allows the land’s true character to shine through, bringing passion and authenticity to every bottle.
Wine The 2021 red Francs Côtes de Bordeaux Château Cru Godard Red is a Merlot-driven gem, bursting with juicy, ripe fruit flavours and a fresh, lifted character. This vintage strikes the perfect balance—smooth, elegant, and full of energy. Already drinking beautifully, it’s a fantastic Bordeaux to enjoy now, especially at this price. Grab it while you can!
