When to Drink Chateau La Commanderie, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau La Commanderie needs just a bit of time before it can be enjoyed. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.
Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau La Commanderie is usually better with at least 3-4 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. The wines offer their best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 4-12 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau La Commanderie with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau La Commanderie is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau La Commanderie is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau La Commanderie is also good when matched with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, pasta, and a diverse array of both hard and soft kinds of cheese.
