When to Drink Chateau Bourgneuf, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Bourgneuf can be enjoyed on the young side with an hour or so decanting. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
The wine is usually better with 4-7 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. In the best years, the wine will be best between 5 and 15 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Bourgneuf with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Bourgneuf is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau Bourgneuf is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Bourgneuf is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, pasta, and a wide variety of hard and soft cheeses.
Chateau Bourgneuf produces a rustic, lighter, traditional style of Pomerol wine that could be better, based on its terroir.
