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
Château Bellevue Mondotte è il piccolo gioiello di questa denominazione, di proprietà del geniale visionario Gérard Perse di Bordeaux, del celebre Château Pavie, Grand Cru Classé. L’appezzamento di due ettari e mezzo con viti di quasi 50 anni si trova su alcuni dei migliori terreni calcarei di Saint-Émilion ed è piantato in prevalenza con Merlot e, in proporzioni minori, con Cabernet Sauvignon e Cabernet Franc. Dal 2001, Perse ha apportato diversi cambiamenti nella tenuta: le cantine sono state rinnovate e i processi di vinificazione sono stati resi più puri. Con rendimenti più bassi e dopo la vendemmia verde, i vini vengono fermentati in vasche di rovere e sottoposti a fermentazione malolattica in botte, prima di essere affinati sui lieviti e imbottigliati assolutamente senza filtrazione e senza chiarifica. La mentalità che punta alla qualità di Perse e del consulente enologo, Michel Rolland, è sempre evidente nei vini ricchi e concentrati prodotti dallo Château. Bellevue-Mondotte, il Grand Vin, è un assemblaggio importante e corposo a base di Merlot, che gode del prolungato affinamento in legno nuovo.
