When to Drink Chateau Le Gay, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Le Gay is much better with at least 10-12 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 hours or more. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.
Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Le Gay offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-40 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Le Gay with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Le Gay is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau Le Gay is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Le Gay is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
