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

Chateau La Cabanne can be enjoyed on the young side with 1 hour to 90 minutes of decanting. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.

The wine is usually better after 4-7 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. In the best years, the wine will be best, between 5 and 15 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau La Cabanne with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

Chateau La Cabanne 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 Cabanne 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 Cabanne is also good with Asian dishes, and hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.

The Estager family owns other Right Bank properties. The best known are Chateau Haut Maillet and Chateau Plincette, which are both in Pomerol. Chateau La Paperterie is located in the St. Emilion satellite commune of Montagne Saint Emilion, and Chateau de Gachet is in the Lalande de Pomerol appellation.
