When to Drink Clos St. Martin, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Clos St. Martin needs 4-6 years in the cellar before starting to show its best. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. Clos St. Martin is best enjoyed in the first 5-20 years of life.

Young vintages can be decanted for about 90 minutes, give or take. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.

Serving Clos St. Martin with Wine and Food Pairings

Clos St. Martin is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Clos St. Martin is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes.

Clos St. Martin is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like rare tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
