When to Drink Chateau Lafleur, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Lafleur is not a wine to drink young. It needs time to develop its nuances. Depending on the vintage, 15-20 or 30 years of bottle age will add dramatically to the wine's complexities and unique textural characteristics. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-4 hours or more.

This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Lafleur offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 15-50 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau Lafleur with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

Chateau Lafleur is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.

Chateau Lafleur is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Lafleur is also good when matched with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like rare tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
