When to Drink Domaine de l'Eglise, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Domaine de l'Eglise can be enjoyed on the young side with decanting. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1 hour or so. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Domaine de l'Eglise is usually better with at least 3-5 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Domaine de l'Eglise offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 4-15 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Domaine de l'Eglise with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Domaine de l'Eglise is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Domaine de l'Eglise is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Domaine de l'Eglise is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
