When to Drink Chateau Barde Haut, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Barde Haut is much better with at least 6-10 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 1-2 hours or more. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.

Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Barde Haut offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 8-22 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau Barde Haut with Wine, and Food Pairing Tips

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

Chateau Barde Haut is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Barde Haut is a perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta as well as cheese.
