Tasting Note:
""The wine is not as powerful as one might expect, given the owners and winemaking team, coming in at 14.3%. A sensational, rather massive example for a 2010, this opaque purple wine offers up notes of subtle barbecue smoke, blackberry and cassis as well as a hints of lead pencil shavings and a confiture of red and black fruits in the mouth. Full-bodied, unctuously textured and excruciatingly tannic, this is a big, blockbuster style of wine meant for 10-50+ years of cellaring.
This miniature 5-acre vineyard, beautifully situated in St.-Emilion, has produced a blend of 90% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Yields were 24 hectoliters per hectare."

Overview:
In 2001, Chateau Bellevue Mondotte was purchased by Gerard Perse. At the time, Gerard Perse was already known for owning several Bordeaux vineyards in Saint Emilion including Chateau Pavie and Chateau Monbousquet.
Bellevue Mondotte is small jewel of a vineyard that is perfectly located, just east of the picturesque St. Emilion village. The vineyard is very close to the other St. Emilion estates also owned by Gerard Perse; Chateau Pavie, Chateau Pavie Decesse, and it is just a bit further from another Perse family owned vineyard, Chateau Monbousquet.
As the name implies, the vineyard is also not far from La Mondotte.
