Bellisle Mondotte Vintage:2000 Packed with botrytized flavorsThe impressive 2000 is undoubtedly a sleeper of the vintage. It offers an opaque purple color along with copious quantities of sweet creme de cassis notes intermixed with coffee, smoke, earth, and mocha. Full bodied and intense, with low acidity, a layered texture, sweet tannin, and a 35 second finish, it will drink beautifully between 2005 2017. P. S. This vineyard is superbly located near La Mondotte and Le Tertre Roteboeuf.
