When to Drink Chateau Marsau, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Marsau is better with at least 2-3 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for up to 1 hour, this will help the wine fill out and soften while aiding in the development of the wine's aromatic character.
Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Marsau offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 2-8 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Marsau with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Marsau is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau Marsau is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Marsau is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
