Fully mature, this medium bodied wine starts off soft and silky, but quickly moves to cigar box and plums on the palate.

This medium bodied wine is already close to mature. This charmer should probably be consumed by the time the wine is 15 years of age. 3,578 Views Tasted Sep 12, 2015Quite good for the vintage. Fully mature, with a truffle and blackberry nose, the wine feels round and silky. The finish is a bit short, but it's charming, none the less. No decanting needed. Just pop, pour and enjoy. 3,043 Views Tasted Dec 25, 2014 |
When to Drink Chateau Clinet, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Clinet is much better with at least 8-12 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 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 Clinet offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-35 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Clinet with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Clinet is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Chateau Clinet is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes.
Chateau Clinet is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, pasta, and cheese.
