SOMMELIER'S ADVICE

Les conseils du sommelier Château de l'Emigré

In order to taste a wine in the best conditions, we advise you to:

  • Chamber your wine two or three hours before serving to reveal the aromas.
  • Decant your wine if it is an old vintage. This will oxygenate it and filter any deposits that can be found in an older bottle of wine.
  • The temperature of your red wine must be between 17 and 19 ° C (Be careful, the wine can heat up very quickly in a room where many guests are present). Dry white wine and rosé opened at the last moment can be served between 10 and 12 ° C to take advantage of the freshness and liveliness of the product. Sweet wine will withstand 10 ° C
  • Food and wine pairing: Depending on your dishes, you will offer different wines. We would help you choose the best food and wine pairing.
  • The sharpness of the glass is essential in the tasting make sure that it does not present any odor. For example, you can wine it to serve your wine.
  • The storage of wines is essential for their conservation. The place should be kept at 18 ° C, without humidity and without any variation in temperature.
