When to Drink Chateau Poesia, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Poesia is better with at least 4-6 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage.
Chateau Poesia is best enjoyed in the first 5-22 years of life. Young vintages can be decanted for about 1 hour to 90 minutes. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Serving Chateau Poesia with Wine and Food Pairings
Chateau Poesia is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau Poesia is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Poesia is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
The 4.5 hectares of vines located in the Cotes de Castillon appellation are used to produce wine sold under the name of Chateau d'Arche.
