Bellevue Mondotte 2021

Bellevue Mondotte

Case Format: 1x150cl

Max score: 96.0

Averaging a 90% concentration of Merlot, Château Bellevue Mondotte is a blockbuster wine, that draws on Merlot’s luscious, inky character. At just two hectares, the prolific Château is a tiny property, but what it lacks in size it sure makes up for in incandescent flavour and innovation. A pioneer of the controversial ‘garagiste’ movement, Château Bellevue Mondotte ages its wine in 100% new oak produced from small yields of 15-20 hectolitres per hectare. The result? A concentrated, vibrant wine that offers a daring alternative to Bordeaux from this region. Averaging less than 400 cases per vintage, Château Bellevue Mondotte is a super rare wine that is highly sought after.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2021 Bellevue Mondotte is 100% Merlot, aging in 90% new oak. Deep garnet-purple in color, it charges out with vibrant scents of black raspberries, plum preserves, and wild blueberries plus wafts of tobacco, dried sage, and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the palate is tightly wound, with firm, grainy tannins supporting the vibrant black fruits, finishing long and earthy. Yields were only 26.56 hl/ha because of the very old vines (64 years old). pH 3.62.

The 2021 Bellevue Mondotte offers an almost Pomerol-like nose of damp earth and chocolate as well as beautiful notes of tobacco, chalky mineral, graphite, and assorted red and blue fruits. Its another medium to full-bodied, balanced wine from this team that has a great mid-palate as well as ripe tannins.
