When to Drink Domaine Roche Audran, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Domaine Roche Audran can be enjoyed on the young side. Young vintages can be popped and poured, or decanted for about 1 hour. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Domaine Roche Audran is usually better with 3-4 years of bottle age. Of course that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages the wine should be consumed within 3-12 years after the vintage.
Serving Domaine Roche Audran with Wine, Food Pairing Tips
Domaine Roche Audran is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.

Domaine Roche Audran is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, cheese, pasta, eggplant and tomatoes.
