Château Bellisle Mondotte St. Emilion '19

This micro-cuvée from St. Emilion's limestone plateau shimmers with deep garnet tones and a bold nose of blackberry, violet pastille, and crushed stone. The winemaker's rigorous selection of old-vine Merlot and Cabernet Franc creates remarkable concentration - flavors of plum skin, bitter chocolate, and exotic spices unfold across a framework of polished tannins. Earning 96 points, the wine finishes with licorice and mineral complexity, showcasing why this tiny estate has become one of Bordeaux's most sought-after properties.
