About Château Bellevue-Mondotte

Château Bellevue-Mondotte has a rich history and prestigious heritage in the Saint-Émilion wine region of Bordeaux, France. This small but remarkable estate covers just 2.5 hectares and is located on the famous limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, home to other leading wineries such as Château Pavie and Château Pavie-Decesse. The vineyard enjoys a privileged location with optimal conditions for growing quality grapes, which contributes to the pronounced intensity of the wines.

In 2001, Château Bellevue-Mondotte was acquired by Gérard Perse, an influential winemaker who also owns the famous Château Pavie. His influence and vision have contributed to Château Bellevue-Mondotte’s reputation as a producer of powerful, concentrated and complex wines. With his dedication to low yields, careful selection of the grapes and long maturation in French oak barrels, Gerard Perse has maximised the estate’s potential and taken the quality of the wines to a new level.

The Château Bellevue-Mondotte vineyard is planted with a high concentration of Merlot (90%), supplemented with small quantities of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, with vines that are on average 50 years old. This produces concentrated, characterful grapes that produce robust and elegant wines. Bellevue-Mondotte wines are known for their dark colour, ripe aromas of black fruit, spices and a subtle minerality from the limestone soil.

Since its acquisition by Perse, Château Bellevue-Mondotte has established itself as one of the top wines in Saint-Émilion, receiving high ratings and praise from international wine critics. The combination of a rich history, an exceptional terroir and the expertise of Gérard Perse, makes Château Bellevue-Mondotte one of the most sought-after Grand Crus in Bordeaux.
