When to Drink Chateau Boyd Cantenac, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Pouget can be enjoyed on the young side with decanting. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1-2 hours, 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.
Chateau Pouget is usually better with at least 5-9 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau Pouget offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-20 years of age after the vintage
Serving Chateau Pouget, with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Pouget is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau Pouget is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Pouget is a perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta as well as various hard and soft cheeses.
