Bellevue-Mondotte
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 (94)
Very little wine is produced (about 400 cases) from this tiny 5-acre vineyard, but it is always among the most concentrated and richest of Bordeaux. The inky/purple-colored 2007 offers sweet cassis fruit notes interwoven with notions of graphite, chalk dust, and toast. Full-bodied with terrific purity and intensity (14.5% alcohol), it should drink well for 20+ years.Inc. VAT£1,077.67 -

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
