When to Drink Chateau Bellevue Mondotte, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Bellevue Mondotte is much better with at least 10-15 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 hours or more. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.

Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Bellevue Mondotte offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 15-30 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau Bellevue Mondotte with Wine, Food, and Pairing Tips

Chateau Bellevue Mondotte is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.

Chateau Bellevue Mondotte is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Bellevue Mondotte is also a perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta as well as a myriad of various cheeses.
