Chateau Simard ST Emillion Grand Cru AOC 2020
KShs6,125 incl. of VAT
What defines Château Simard is its limestone-driven elegance. Merlot provides plush fruit and roundness, while Cabernet Franc adds lift and aromatic finesse. The wine favours harmony over heaviness, offering polished tannins, freshness and quiet depth. It is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru that feels confident and refined, appealing to both traditionalists and modern drinkers seeking balance and authenticity.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with a vibrant core. The nose is expressive and composed, showing black cherry, plum and ripe red berries, layered with hints of violet, cocoa and gentle spice. On the palate, the wine is smooth and well-defined — juicy fruit, subtle savoury notes and a mineral thread glide across polished tannins. Fresh acidity lifts the finish, which is elegant, persistent and well-balanced.
Food Pairing
This Saint-Émilion pairs beautifully with dishes that highlight texture and savoury depth. It complements roast lamb, duck breast, veal, mushroom-based dishes and herb-roasted poultry. Its supple tannins also work well with soft to semi-aged cheeses, making it a versatile choice for refined dining.
Description
