Vinous bewertete (01/2016) Château Bellevue-Mondotte 2012 wie folgt: “The Bellevue-Mondotte is arguably the most intriguing of Gerard Perse’s 2012s. It is also the least accessible of the wines today. A firm spine of tannin gives the Bellevue-Mondotte much of its personality. Black cherry, smoke, licorice, tar and graphite all take on shades of virility in a wine endowed with vertical structure and pure power. Gerard Perse made just 4,000 bottles from Bellevue-Mondotte, a tiny two-hectare vineyard on Saint-Emilion’s clay/limestone plateau. The 2012 is a magical wine, but it will require considerable patience. The blend is 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a stunning wine from Gerard and Chantal Perse and their long-time winemaker Michel Rolland”- 95+ Punkte

Robert Parker bewertete (04/2015) Château Bellevue-Mondotte 2012 wie folgt: “The smallest of the Perse estates, this tiny property situated on pure limestone produces a wine made from a blend of 90% Merlot and the rest equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. One of the superstars of this vintage, the 2012 is opaque purple and exhibits tremendous concentration and richness, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and a layered texture that builds incrementally without any heaviness or cloying characteristics. This is stunning, great, old-style, yet progressively made Bordeaux to drink over the next 25-30 years. .” – 96 Punkte

Jeb Dunnuck bewertete (02/2018) Château Bellevue-Mondotte 2012 wie folgt: “A blend of 90% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from the Perse team, the 2012 Bellevue Mondotte is a deep ruby/purple colored effort that offers serious amounts of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit to go with tons of graphite, licorice, chocolate, and dried herbs. Big, rich, and locked and loaded, with full-bodied power, plenty of toasty oak, ripe tannin, and stunning purity, drink it anytime over the coming 20-25 years…” – 95 Punkte

James Suckling bewertete (02/2015) Château Bellevue-Mondotte 2012 wie folgt: “A young red with coffee, chocolate, red chili and berry character. Chalk and salt flakes. Full body, velvety tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Super focused for the vintage. The 90% merlot shows itself. But truly a top wine for the vintage..” – 95 Punkte
