About Bellevue-Mondotte
The estate comprises a tiny 2-hectare vineyard that accounts for a mere 350-400 dozen cases annually, miniscule production in the context of Bordeaux. The vines average 50 years of age and sit atop the famed Saint-Émilion limestone plateau.

Wine Advocate (96)
The smallest of the Perse estates, this tiny property situated on pure limestone produces a wine made from a blend of 90% Merlot and the rest equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. One of the superstars of this vintage, the 2012 is opaque purple and exhibits tremendous concentration and richness, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and a layered texture that builds incrementally without any heaviness or cloying characteristics. This is stunning, great, old-style, yet progressively made Bordeaux to drink over the next 25-30 years. The alcohol level is 14.3%.Inc. VAT£725.09 -
