When to Drink Chateau Paveil de Luze, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Paveil de Luze can be enjoyed on the young side with decanting, but the wine is much better wine, these days. 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 Paveil de Luze is usually better with at least 4-6 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau Paveil de Luze offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 8-18 years of age after the vintage.

In addition, the estate also produces a white Bordeaux wine, Paveil de Luze Blanc which is produced from a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for an average of 8 months prior to bottling. The wine is sold as a generic Bordeaux AOC wine, as the production is white wine in Margaux is forbidden.

Serving Chateau Paveil de Luze, with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

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

Paveil de Luze is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Paveil de Luze is a perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta as well as cheese.
