Tasting notes
This attractive, soft wine is fresh and crisp, with lively acidity and a bright aftertaste. It is packed with fruit, rounded and ready to drink from mid-2018.
How to enjoy : This wine pairs wonderfully with roasted lamb, grilled steak, or mushroom-based dishes. While approachable now for its ripe fruit and supple tannins, the Château Simard Saint-Émilion 2018 will continue to develop complexity over the next 5–10 years. It is a classic expression of Saint-Émilion, offering both immediate enjoyment and the potential for graceful aging—a superb choice for lovers of refined right bank Bordeaux.
More About The Winery
A classic name of Saint-Émilion, Château Simard is known for producing wines that reflect a more traditional and restrained style of the appellation. Long associated with the Vauthier family of Château Ausone, the estate shares the same commitment to structure, longevity, and terroir expression.
The vineyard is planted on a mix of clay and limestone soils, providing both richness and freshness. Merlot forms the backbone of the blend, supported by Cabernet Franc, resulting in wines that favour balance and ageing potential over immediate opulence.
In the glass, Château Simard expresses dark cherry, plum, cedar, and earthy notes, with a firm structure and well-defined tannins. The style is deliberately classical—often more reserved in its youth, requiring time to fully reveal its complexity.
Unlike more modern Saint-Émilion wines, Simard is typically aged in a way that preserves freshness and avoids excessive oak influence, allowing the terroir to take centre stage.
Château Simard stands as a reminder of Bordeaux’s heritage—structured, honest, and built to evolve, offering a timeless expression of Saint-Émilion for those who appreciate tradition and patience.
