When to Drink Esprit de Pavie, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Esprit de Pavie is delicious on release. Though it is better with at least 1-2 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for up to 1 hour, helping the wine soften to help develop the aromatic character.
Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Esprit de Pavie offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 2-7 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Esprit de Pavie with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Esprit de Pavie is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Esprit de Pavie is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised and grilled dishes. Esprit de Pavie is also good when matched with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms and pasta.
