When to Drink Chateau Villemaurine, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Villemaurine is better with at least 4-6 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. Chateau Villemaurine is best enjoyed in the first 5-20 years of life.

Young vintages can be decanted for about 1 hour to 90 minutes. 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 Villemaurine with Wine and Food Pairings

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

Chateau Villemaurine is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Villemaurine is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.

The Onclin family also owns Clos Larcis, which is located not far from Chateau Pavie and as you can guess, Chateau Larcis Ducasse. They also count another Bordeaux vineyard in their holdings, Chateau Branas Grand-Poujeaux, located in the Moulis appellation, which is well-placed in the Haut Medoc.
