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

Chateau La Pointe can be enjoyed on the young side with decanting. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1 hour or so. 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 Pointe is usually better with at least 3-5 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau La Pointe offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 4-15 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau La Pointe with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

Chateau La Pointe 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 Pointe is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau La Pointe is also good with Asian dishes, and hearty fish courses like tuna, salmon, mushrooms, and pasta.
