When to Drink Chateau Lafleur-Gazin, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Lafleur-Gazin 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. The wine is better with 4-6 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. In the best years, Chateau Lafleur-Gazin will be at its best between 5 and 12 years of age after the vintage.
Serving and Decanting Chateau Lafleur-Gazin with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Lafleur-Gazin is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau Lafleur-Gazin is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Lafleur-Gazin is also good with Asian dishes, and hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
