Medium bodied, forward, lighter style of Pomerol, with freshness, soft textures, but not a lot of depth to the red plums and cherries, although there is a nice thyme and espresso note in the nose that adds to the wine. 2,675 Views Tasted Oct 25, 2016 |
When to Drink Chateau Fayat, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Fayat 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 Fayat offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 8-15 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Fayat with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Fayat is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau Fayat is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Fayat is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
