Château Bellevue-Mondotte 2020

An aromatic and structured Grand Cru de Saint-Émilion

The property

The Château Bellevue Mondotte is a Grand Cru from the Saint-Émilion appellation, whose 2-hectare vineyard is partially enclosed within Château Pavie Decesse.

The vineyard

Located on the clay-limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, at an elevation of 80 meters above the Dordogne valley, this terroir, whose vines are on average 51 years old, benefits from an ideal south-facing exposure, steep soils that promote excellent natural drainage, and a vineyard that is less susceptible to frost due to its geographical location.

Winemaking and aging

Hand-harvested, the grapes undergo a rigorous sorting before being vinified. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled wooden vats. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in barrels, as is the aging (90% new barrels and 10% one-wine barrels), with the final blending just before bottling.

Blend

Château Bellevue Mondotte 2020 is 100% Merlot.
