The 2019 Bellevue Mondotte is another rich, muscular wine from the Perse family. Exhibiting aromas of ripe cherries, berry fruit liqueur, warm spices, paraffin wax and creamy new oak, it's full-bodied, thick and broad-shouldered, with a super ripe and generously extracted profile, lively acids and a long, heady, youthfully chewy finish where ripe but assertive tannins make their presence felt. From holdings on Saint-émilion's plateau, opposite Stephan von Neipperg’s La Mondotte, this is another wine where I think more finesse wouldn't have to come at the expense of concentration or intensity; but it will delight drinkers who look back at the extremely powerful Saint-émilions of the 2000s with nostalgia, as it remains faithful to that pedal-to-the-metal style.
