DESCRIPTION
We have never been able to offer Chateau Simard’s brother, Chateau Haut Simard before. We are proud to have received an allocation of this truly superior Saint Emilion Grand Cru
A good length for this Saint Emilion Grand Cru which will go wonderfully with poultry: a capon with Champagne will be perfect! To drink now but you can also keep it for 15 years.
93 points Robert Parker
Made up of 65% Merlot, and 35% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Haut-Simard has a deep garnet-purple color and delivers a hedonistic nose of plum preserves, Black Forest cake and wild blueberries with touches of baking spices, dark chocolate and roses. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers intense black fruits and spice layers without heaviness, framed by firm, finely grained tannins and finishing on a lingering peppery note.
93 points Vinous
The 2016 Haut-Simard has a top-notch bouquet of gorgeous, well-defined blackberry, briar and raspberry aromas that burst from the glass. There is a floral aspect to this Saint-Emilion that the 2016 Simard does not possess. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine density and concentration and a very fine line of acidity. The oak (30% new) is seamlessly integrated, with a long tail on the finish. This is the finest Haut-Simard I have tasted. Excellent.
