When to Drink Chateau Godeau, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Godeau is better with at least 4-6 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. Chateau Godeau is best enjoyed in the first 5-15 years of life.
Young vintages can be decanted for about 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.
Serving Chateau Godeau with Wine and Food Pairings
Chateau Godeau is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau Godeau is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Godeau is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
