{"title":"CHATEAU BELLEVUE MONDOTTE","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eChâteau Bellevue Mondotte is a tiny and highly sought-after estate in Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, renowned for producing exceptionally concentrated, powerful and age-worthy red wines. Owned by celebrated Bordeaux vigneron Gérard Perse, also proprietor of Château Pavie, the estate occupies a privileged position on the limestone plateau and slopes overlooking the Dordogne Valley. With extremely limited production and meticulous attention to detail, Bellevue Mondotte has developed a cult following among collectors of fine Bordeaux.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard covers only a small parcel of land near some of Saint-Émilion's most prestigious estates. Its elevated position and limestone-rich clay soils provide excellent drainage while retaining sufficient moisture during the growing season. These conditions are particularly well suited to Merlot, which dominates the vineyard, complemented by smaller plantings of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBellevue Mondotte is typically a Merlot-led Bordeaux blend characterised by remarkable concentration and depth. The wines can display layers of blackberry, black cherry, plum, cassis, liquorice, violet, graphite, espresso and spice, supported by substantial yet polished tannins. Despite their richness, the finest vintages retain freshness and mineral character derived from Saint-Émilion's limestone terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViticulture and winemaking are carried out on an exceptionally small scale, allowing careful attention to individual vines and parcels. Grapes are harvested and rigorously selected before fermentation, while maturation in French oak adds structure and complexity. Low yields and stringent selection contribute to the intensity of the finished wine, with production remaining extremely limited compared with most Bordeaux estates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau Bellevue Mondotte has earned considerable international acclaim, particularly for powerful vintages capable of developing for many years in the cellar. Its combination of tiny production, outstanding terroir and Gérard Perse's uncompromising approach has made Bellevue Mondotte an intriguing choice for collectors seeking distinctive, limited-production Saint-Émilion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop Château Bellevue Mondotte wines online at Wine More Cellars Australia.
