Bellevue-Mondotte--Vintage 2007
Saint-Emilion, grand cru
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: Very little wine is produced (about 400 cases) from this tiny 5-acre vineyard, but it is always among the most concentrated and richest of Bordeaux. The inky/purple-coloured 2007 offers sweet cassis fruit notes interwoven with notions of graphite, chalk dust, and toast. Full-bodied with terrific purity and intensity (14.5 alcohol), it should drink well for 20+ years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 188, April 2010
