When to Drink Chateau Langoa Barton, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Langoa Barton is not a wine to drink on the young side. The wine is usually far too tannic, and austere during its youth. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 2-4 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 Langoa Barton is usually better with at least 10 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau Langoa Barton offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 12-15 and 30 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau Langoa Barton with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

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

Chateau Langoa Barton is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Langoa Barton is a perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta as well as a myriad of hard and soft cheeses.
