2008 Chateau Bellevue Mondotte

Tasting Note:

An extraordinary effort in this vintage this 2008 was made from lower yields than the 2010 (the 2008s equaled 20 hectoliters per hectare) and is a blend of 90% Merlot and equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon that came in at 14% natural alcohol. Michel Rolland has been the consultant for all the Perse estates since their acquisition and the 2008s fruit was harvested very late October 20. The result is a backward dense purple-colored wine revealing a crushed rock-like liqueur along with highly extracted massive flavors of black currants sweet cherries licorice and toast. This full-bodied effort requires 5-6 years of bottle age and should last for 25-30 years. Source: Wine Advocate
