When to Drink Chateau Le Moulin, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Le Moulin can be enjoyed on the young side with an hour or two of decanting. However, I find the wine is usually better with 4-7 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. In the best years, Chateau Le Moulin will be at its peak between 5 and 15 years of age after the vintage.
This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages of Chateau Le Moulin might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Serving and Decanting Chateau Le Moulin with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Le Moulin is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau Le Moulin is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Le Moulin is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
