When to Drink Chateau La Croizille, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau La Croizille is better with at least 3-5 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. Chateau La Croizille is best enjoyed in the first 4-18 years of life.
Young vintages can be decanted for up to 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.
Serving Chateau La Croizille with Wine, and Food Pairing Tips
Chateau La Croizille is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Chateau La Croizille is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau La Croizille is a perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta as well as cheese.
