When to Drink Chateau Siaurac, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Siaurac is much better with at least 3-6 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 1 hour to 90 minutes. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.

Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Siaurac offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 5-15 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau Siaurac with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

Chateau Siaurac is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.

Chateau Siaurac is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Siaurac is also good when matched with Asian dishes, and rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.

The wine of Vray Croix de Gay has been produced in the cellars of Chateau Siaurac for almost 100 years. However, appellation laws in Pomerol will change that in 2020. From that point forward, only the wine of Chateau Siaurac will be allowed to be made in their cellars.
