Chateau La Clotte is much better with at least 5 – 7 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 1-2 hours. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.
Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau La Clotte offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 8-20 years of age after the vintage.
Chateau La Clotte is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
