Château Bellisle Mondotte
St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
A touch hot but otherwise an unpretentious and delicious right bank Bdx (80 merlot / 20 cab franc). Dark fruits—plums and blueberry—plus tobacco and plenty of earth and umami. Pair with anything roasted or grilled and a summer evening watching the fireflies

Jul 23rd, 2021Best merlots around. Soft and fruity. Mild tannins. I get a little hint of herbal. This one was a surprise by a friend. Nice pick

Nov 4th, 2018Love! On the nose: graphite, plum, blueberry, leather, a touch of cedar and tar.The blue fruits in mid palate and finish keep going and going. Plenty of tannins although they are not overwhelming. Fantastic with some simply seasoned filet, and roasted pancetta wrapped asparagus topped with Parmesan. Really enjoyable but could even stand another couple years of aging.
