Château Simon Description
Ideally positioned a few hundred meters from the village of Barsac in the Simon neighbourhood, Château Simon has thrived here for two centuries.
Established in 1814, Château Simon began as a traditional French farm producing wine, fruits & vegetables. Over time Château Simon has successfully prevailed as a strong wine producing specialist.
Today, the vineyard is set in an impressive 33 hectares located on three major appellations: Sauternes, Graves & Bordeaux. Our vineyard produces wine varieties such as Sémillon, Sauvignon, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon. Anne Laure & Pauline remain loyal to their roots and honour their heritage by utilising the invaluable knowledge and traditions of their ancestors. Passionately building a future by complimenting this proud history with modern & innovative techniques.
The vineyards are located in the commune of Barsac resting on a unique Haut Plateau of clay and limestone with rock with asteries underneath.
"Cuvée Exceptionnelle" is made from a precise selection of best vines. The picking is hand made with 4 to 5 successive picks. Only the over matured berries are selected.
Tasting Note: With a sumptuous gold robe this wine has an elegant nose of ripe oranges with a touch of honey.
The mouth has incredible aromas of sweet melon, exotic fruits enhanced by the lively drive of dried apricot. The finish is concentrated and long with notes of mint.
Wine Pairing: This wine is perfect as an aperitif. It will match perfectly with white meats, spicy dishes, asiatic cookings, cheeses and the traditional foie gras.
