Château La Vieille Cure (Fronsac)
This has matured surprisingly fast. Lacking the levels of concentration and ripeness found in 2005 or 2009, this is still fun to drink now with its licorice, black cherry and coffee bean, soft textured personality. 3,621 Views Tasted May 20, 2013 |
When to Drink Chateau La Vieille Cure, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau La Vieille Cure is much better with at least 3-4 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 1 - 2 hours. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.
Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau La Vieille Cure offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 3-15 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau La Vieille Cure with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau La Vieille Cure is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau La Vieille Cure is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau La Vieille Cure is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
