When to Drink Chateau Bel Air Pomerol, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Bel Air Pomerol can be enjoyed on the young side with decanting. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1 hour or so. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Chateau Bel Air Pomerol is usually better with at least 3-5 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau Bel Air Pomerol offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 4-12 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Bel-Air Pomerol with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Bel-Air Pomerol is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Chateau Bel-Air is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes.
Chateau Bel Air Pomerol is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, salmon, mushrooms, and pasta.
