Robert Parker: The inky/blue/purple-colored 2009 Bellevue Mondotte
offers aromas of creme de cassis, mulberries, licorice, white
flowers, forest floor and candied cherries. Extremely thick, rich
and full-bodied, it is nearly overwhelming in its textural
richness, colossal concentration and mind-blowing finish that lasts
nearly a minute. Undeniably massive and over-sized, but perfectly
balanced, it is made for those looking for something to put away
for 30-50+ years. One has to admire a proprietor who is making a
wine for the history books, not for near-term gratification.
This is a tiny jewel in the empire of entrepreneur and quality
conscious Bordeaux visionary, Gerard Perse. It is a 5-acre parcel
of nearly 50-year old vines planted on pure limestone at an
elevation above that of his neighboring property, Pavie-Decesse,
not far from Pavie-Macquin. Bellevue Mondotte is generally a blend
of approximately 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet
Sauvignon. Since Perse got control of this estate and renovated the
cellars, he has been draconian in reducing yields, which were a
mere 22 hectoliters per hectare in 2009. The fruit was picked very
ripe and the wine was fermented in oak tanks with malolactic in
barrel, aged on its lees (a la Burgundy), and bottled unfined and
unfiltered. At all the Perse properties the wine stays in oak about
six months longer than at other Bordeaux estates.
