2019 Chateau Simard Saint-Emilion

Eitthvert fegursta víngerðarþorp veraldar er St. Emilion, reyndar svo fallegt að það jaðrar við væmni. Simard er hér vel í sveit sett og stýrt af Vaulthier fjölskyldunni (sem einnig eiga Ausone) Merlot 65%, Cabernet Franc 35%. 2019 er einn sá besti í seinni tíð.

Summary: Bordeaux 2019 was not a straightforward year. The season began cool and wet but improved after June. However, with only patchy rainfall there were drought conditions by September. Rainfall just before harvest proved a welcome relief. The majority of wines are beautifully expressive, ranging truly from ripe, opulent and hedonistic to delicate, elegant and aerial, with balance and appeal. There are some fantastic dry white and sweet wines too, so there really is something for everyone in 2019.
