If you're seeking a forward, ripe, plush wine filled with licorice, chocolate covered cherries and earth, with round, soft textures, that is drinkable on release for a fair price, look no further. It's not going to make old bones, but that misses the point on wines like this. 3,012 Views Tasted Mar 11, 2015 |
When to Drink Chateau Villars, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Villars is much better with at least 2-3 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 1 hour, allowing the wine to soften and open its perfume.
Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Villars offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 3-10 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Villars with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Villars is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau Villars is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Villars is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
