1981 Chateau Simard

This château in Saint-Emilion grows Merlot and Cabernet Franc on a terroir of clay and limestone. The estate’s old vines produce high-quality grapes, which are traditionally vinified and aged in barrels. The wine is known for its balance, offering a blend of fruit and subtle oak notes. While powerful, it remains relatively unknown, making it a rare find at an appealing price. A notable example of Saint-Emilion Grand Cru.
