Chateau Haut-Simard Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2016 (750ml)

The 2016 Château Haut‑Simard is a graceful and quietly confident Saint‑Émilion. It opens with ripe plum and dark cherry aromas, followed by gentle layers of violet, cedar, and sweet spice. There’s a touch of earthiness beneath the surface that gives it a grounded, honest charm.

On the palate, it’s smooth and well-structured, with velvety tannins wrapped around generous dark fruit and a fine thread of freshness. Hints of cocoa and black pepper lend depth without overpowering the fruit. It’s a wine that speaks softly but carries presence—perfect for relaxed dinner settings now, or with a few years of cellaring to let it stretch out and show even more nuance.
