Not to be confused with heavy-hitter Saint-Emilion, Chateau Bellisle-Mondotte (Really, how could anyone ever... wait, what?), Chateau Mondotte Bellisle is a Grand Cru in its own right, spanning 17 acres of prime acreage, and whose vines, planted to limestone and clay soil, average 25 years of age. Cement and tank fermented, the wine ages (without confusion) in barrel.
