2019 Chateau Haut Simard - St. Emilion (750ml)

2019 Château Haut Simard Saint-Émilion Nestled on the famed limestone plateau adjacent to the legendary Château Ausone, Haut Simard benefits from one of Saint-Émilion's most coveted terroirs — ancient clay-limestone soils and a sun-drenched hillside exposure that have defined greatness in this appellation for centuries. This Merlot-driven blend from the exceptional 2019 vintage delivers ripe plum, dark cherry, and cassis framed by notes of cedar, graphite, and dark chocolate, with that unmistakable chalky mineral backbone that only this storied corner of the Right Bank can provide. Supple tannins, seamless balance, and remarkable pedigree make this an outstanding value in the shadow of one of Bordeaux's most iconic estates. Drink now with decanting, or cellar for a decade-plus of rewarding development.
