Lot 30 Details
CHÂTEAU BELLEVUE MONDOTTE 2005

Saint-Émilion. Grand Cru
u. 2 x 1 cm. 2 x scraped labels.

Made up of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the opaque bluish/purple 2005 from Bellevue-Mondotte offers amazing chocolate espresso notes along with blueberry and blackberry liqueur, some incense and a hint of flowers. Full-bodied and staggeringly concentrated, this blockbuster wine (in a blockbuster vintage) is unreal. Talk about a wine that is beyond belief – this is a great achievement from Chantal and Gérard Perse. Drink it over the next 25-30 years. Sadly, there were only 340 or so cases produced. June 2015 Drink to 2045 WS 97 WA 100

2 bts.    per lot $900 - $1,200

Realised: $996
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
