2020 Chateau Bellevue Mondotte, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 6x75cl

Bellevue Mondotte

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 97

Drink To: 2027-2050

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.

The 2020 Bellevue-Mondotte was a bit of a "bruiser" when I tasted the sample bottle sent to the UK, despite affording it as much aeration as I could allow. Re-examining the sample at Pavie, the wine demonstrates much more composure and refinement, therefore it deserves a higher score.

The 2020 Bellevue Mondotte is made from 100% Merlot, with an alcohol of 14.92% and a pH of 3.54. It is aging in French oak barriques, 90% new. Displaying an opaque purple-black color, it sashays out of the glass with flamboyant notes of plum preserves, blackberry compote and blueberry pie, plus hints of hoisin, Chinese five spice and camphor with a touch of dried rose petals. The concentrated, seductive, full-bodied palate delivers layer upon layer of black and blue fruit preserves, accented by exotic spices and supported with firm, ripe, rounded tannins plus fantastic freshness. The finish is epically long and achingly fragrant. Wow!

100% Merlot. Cask sample. Purple-black hue. Tightly wound and structured but has the fruit to match. Dark and steely on the nose. Solid tannic frame but the tannins fine grained. Reserved and intense but precise. Needs patience. (JL)
