When to Drink Chateau La Roncheraie, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau La Roncheraie is much better with at least 1-3 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 La Roncheraie offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 2-8 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau La Roncheraie with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

Chateau La Roncheraie 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 Roncheraie 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 Roncheraie is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.

Previous vintages of Chateau La Roncheraie included two wines which are no longer in production, La Roncheraie Cuvee Prestige and La Roncheraie Cuvee Seriene.
