We’re delighted to work with Château Simard on our Own Selection St Émilion again this year. It is a blend of Merlot (50%) and Cabernet Franc (35%), with smaller proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. The nose has subtle notes of sweet spice and violet. Soft tannins and bright acidity on the finish accompany red cherry and ripe raspberry notes. This wine has a lovely delicacy and freshness, which, being from a lighter vintage, is a delight to drink now.

About this wine

Saint-Emilion

First officially classified in 1954, St-Émilion is one of Bordeaux's largest winemaking appellations, producing more wine than Listrac, Moulis, St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux combined. Many of the region's finest vineyards can be found atop the steep limestone slopes of the village itself, although a fledgling band of garagiste producers are eschewing terroir to make small-batch, deeply-concentrated wines from their homes.
