The tasting |
|
|
A garnet of great intensity. |
|
| | |
|
Aromas of dark fruit, spices and mocha. |
|
| | |
|
The palate is silky and focused, with a fresh, flowing texture supported by refined, well-rounded tannins. The oak aging is discreet, adding just enough depth to enhance the wine without taking over. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
Between Troplong Mondot and La Mondotte lies one of Saint-Émilion’s best-kept secrets: Château Bellisle Mondotte. Just 5 hectares in size and organically farmed, this small estate is treated with the care of a private garden.
Set on the slopes above the famed Pavie hillside, it produces Merlot-driven wines full of elegance and depth. Aged in barrels — with a third being new — the oak brings structure and smoothness, while letting the fruit and freshness shine through. |

|
With outstanding ripeness and driven by 90% Merlot, the 2020 Red Saint-Émilion Grand Cru captures everything we love about the Right Bank at its best. Silky tannins, a seamless texture, and perfectly judged barrel aging all come together to create a beautifully balanced wine. Black fruit aromas, warm spices, and hints of mocha unfold with harmony, flowing through a precise, velvety, and refreshingly vibrant palate. A brilliant expression of its clay-limestone terroir — rated 94/100 by Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier in the World, and our Selection Committee. |
