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

Chateau La Rousselle is better with at least 2-3 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for up to 1 hour, helping the wine soften to help develop the aromatic character.

Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau La Rousselle offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 2-10 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau La Rousselle with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

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