The Perfect Terroir for Wine Production
Chateau Simon lies on the left bank of the Garonne River, benefiting from the region’s perfect terroir. The combination of the oceanic climate and the unique soil composition creates an ideal environment for growing grapes. The vineyards are carefully observed and managed using sustainable agriculture practices, ensuring the health and vitality of the vines.
The Dufour family, who passionately built and continue to run Chateau Simon, have invaluable knowledge of the land and its potential. They have dedicated themselves to preserving the heritage of winemaking while embracing modern innovative techniques.
From Vine to Bottle: The Winemaking Process
At Chateau Simon, the winemaking process is a meticulous and labor-intensive endeavor. The grapes, primarily Semillon varieties, are hand-picked during successive picking sessions to ensure only the finest fruit is selected. This attention to detail is crucial in producing the concentrated sweet wine that Chateau Simon is known for.
Once the grapes are harvested, they undergo a careful sorting process to remove any imperfections. The grapes are then gently pressed, and the juice is fermented using modern technology and techniques. The use of oak stave barrels during fermentation and aging adds complexity and depth to the final product.
Chateau Simon’s wines are characterized by their delicate golden color, wonderful concentration, and complex flavors of crystallized fruits. The fungus noble rot, which is carefully observed and managed, plays a crucial role in the production of these unique wines. This fungus helps produce the concentrated sweetness and distinct flavors that are synonymous with Chateau Simon’s wines.

Chateau Simon offers a large range of wines, each showcasing the unique characteristics of the terroir and the expertise of the winemakers. From dry whites to luscious sweet wines, there is something to suit every palate.
