When to Drink Chateau Plince, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Plince can be enjoyed on the young side with an hour or two of decanting. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.
Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. However, I find the wine is usually better with 4-6 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. In the best years, Chateau Plince is usually at its best between 5 and 14 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Plince with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Plince is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Chateau Plince is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes.
Chateau Plince is also good when matched with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
Chateau Plince is a lighter, early-drinking style of Pomerol wine.
