Score 90/100 · Drink 2025-2032, Jeb Dunnuck, Jun 2025

Juicy and medium-bodied, the 2021 Château Bellevue offers bright red currants and berries intermixed with floral and sappy nuances. Medium-bodied and complex, this has purity, vibrancy, and a nicely balanced style that will drink well for 7-8 years. Drink 2025-2032.

A bigger, riper wine in the Pavie arsenal, the 2021 Bellevue Mondotte (100% Merlot) has tons of red and blue fruits, candied violets, truffle, and licorice, with more classic limestone minerality emerging with air. This richer, medium to full-bodied, plush, round, sexy 2021 has ripe, polished tannins and a gorgeous finish. Hitting 13.95% alcohol and a pH of 3.62, drink this beauty over the coming 15 years or so.

The 2021 Bellevue Mondotte, which lies next to Pavie-Decesse and likewise will be blended into Château Pavie beginning with the next vintage, has quite a ripe and ostentatious bouquet, perhaps more-so than I recall from en primeur. Potpourri and hints of iodine emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied and tensile, with fine, dry tannins and a touch of baking spice toward the finish. It pulls up just a little short, but otherwise is a decent valedictory Saint-Émilion that will be no more from 2022 on.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2028-2041, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2024

The 2021 Bellevue Mondotte, 100% Merlot, is fleshy, succulent and quite inviting. Plush contours and gorgeous, forward fruit give the 2021 tons of immediacy and appeal. Touches of rose petal, mint, mocha and a kiss of sweet French oak build nicely with time in the glass. The refined finish is a thing of beauty. This is the last vintage of Bellevue Mondotte, as the property was incorporated into Château Pavie with the 2022 vintage.
