When to Drink Chateau Clerc Milon, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Clerc Milon can be enjoyed on the young side with a few hours of air. But I find it so much better with cellaring. The wine is usually better at 8-12 years of bottle age.

Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. In the best vintages, the wine will be at its best level of peak maturity between 10-25 years of age after the vintage. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 2-3 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.

Serving Chateau Clerc Milon with Wine and Food Pairing Tips

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

Chateau Clerc Milon is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Clerc Milon is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
