Château Bellevue-Mondotte 2021

An expressive and delicate Saint-Emilion wine

The estate

Château Bellevue Mondotte is a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, whose 2-hectare vineyard is partly enclosed within Château Pavie Decesse.

The vineyard

This Saint-Emilion wine is made from a terroir located on the clay-limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion, 80 metres above the Dordogne Valley. The vines are 64 years old on average, and benefit from an ideal southern exposure, sloping soils that provide an excellent natural drainage and a vineyard that is not prone to frost due to its geographical location.

Vinification and ageing

The grapes are harvested by hand on October 4th and are rigorously sorted before being vinified. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled wooden vats. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in barrels, as is ageing (90% new barrels and 10% second fill barrels) with a final blend just before bottling.

The blend

Château Bellevue Mondotte 2021 is a 100% Merlot.
