When to Drink Chateau La Couspaude, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau La Couspaude is better with 3-4 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. Chateau La Couspaude is best enjoyed in the first 5-15 years of life.

Younger vintages can be decanted for up to 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 La Couspaude with Wine and Food Pairings

Chateau La Couspaude is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Chateau La Couspaude is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes.

Chateau La Couspaude is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
