95 Vinous
The 2019 Bellevue Mondotte, picked at 18hL/ha on a single day (October 5) has a tightly wound bouquet of blackberry, briary, blueberry and light violet petal scents, but less of the marine aromas that I picked out from the barrel sample. However, there are some lovely orange pith scents that percolate through with continued aeration, and these are accentuated after a couple of hours. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, good acidity and fine backbone. This is quite a sturdy Saint-Émilion with impressive density toward the finish. It needs just a little more charm and personality, though they may develop with time. Very fine, but patience required.
95 James Suckling
This is dense and layered, but with very fine, creamy tannins. Weightless and punchy from the bright acidity. Vivid and long. Tight at the end, but then kicks off with minerality and stone. 90% merlot, 5% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon. Try after 2025.

The 2019 Bellevue Mondotte is another rich, muscular wine from the Perse family. Exhibiting aromas of ripe cherries, berry fruit liqueur, warm spices, paraffin wax and creamy new oak, it's full-bodied, thick and broad-shouldered, with a super ripe and generously extracted profile, lively acids and a long, heady, youthfully chewy finish where ripe but assertive tannins make their presence felt. From holdings on Saint-Émilion's plateau, opposite Stephan von Neipperg’s La Mondotte, this is another wine where I think more finesse wouldn't have to come at the expense of concentration or intensity; but it will delight drinkers who look back at the extremely powerful Saint-Émilions of the 2000s with nostalgia, as it remains faithful to that pedal-to-the-metal style.

Château Bellevue Mondotte
Petit bijou de l’appellation, le Château Bellevue Mondotte appartient au brillant visionnaire bordelais, Gérard Perse, dont le nom est synonyme du célèbre Grand Cru Classé Château Pavie. Sur une parcelle de 2,5 hectares de vignes âgées de près de 50 ans, le merlot s’érige en maître, épaulé par quelques pieds de cabernet-sauvignon et de cabernet franc. Ce terroir à base de calcaire se classe parmi les plus qualitatifs de Saint-Emilion. Depuis 2001, Gérard Perse a amorcé un nouveau tournant au domaine, rénovant les chais et épurant les techniques de vinification. Issus de rendements plus faibles liés à une vendange en vert rigoureuse, les vins sont fermentés en cuves en bois suivi d’une fermentation malolactique en barriques avant d’être élevés sur lies et mis en bouteille sans le moindre collage ni filtration. Une approche qui privilégie uniquement la qualité tandis que la pâte de l’œnologue conseil Michel Rolland transparaît dans les cuvées riches et concentrées du château. Bellevue-Mondotte, crème de la production, est un assemblage massif et corpulent à base de merlot qui bénéficie d’un vieillissement prolongé en bois neuf.
