When to Drink Chateau Labegorce, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Labegorce can be tasted young with decanting. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1-3 hours, give or take. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Chateau Labegorce is usually better with at least 7 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau Labegorce offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 8 and 20 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Labegorce, with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Labegorce is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau Labegorce is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Labegorce is a perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, salmon, mushrooms, and pasta as well as cheese.
