Château Simard - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru | French Red Wine

Dominated by Merlot, the Saint-Émilion vines of Château Simard boast a silkier profile than their Left Bank cabernet sauvignon cousins. While a young Merlot is characterized by marked fruit aromas and a fresh minerality, aged Merlot transforms into a sumptuous bouquet, with secondary and tertiary aroma undertones. A Merlot that has reached its peak boasts a much more complex body, releasing notes of leather, spices, undergrowth and cigar box… all enveloped in a well developed tannic structure that has become synonymous with these grand crus.
