When to Drink Clusel Roch, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Clusel Roch, when young, should be decanted at least 1-2 hours, give or take, allowing the wines to soften and open their perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.

Clusel Roch is usually better with 7-9 years of cellaring and should be at its best between 8-18 years of age, depending on the wine and the vintage.

Serving Clusel Roch with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

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

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

Condrieu, the white wine of Clusel Roch is best served with a myriad of different seafood dishes, shellfish, crab, lobster, sushi, sashimi, chicken, pork and veal, as well as Asian cuisine.

Clusel Roch also produces wine in the Coteaux-du-lyonnais appellation. At the end of the day, not much wine is produced here. On average, slightly more than 1,250 cases of wine are produced each year at Domaine Clusel Roch.
