Serving Suggestions

When serving a mature wine like the 1985 Château Larmande, it's advisable to decant gently to separate any sediment and allow the wine to breathe, enhancing its complex aromas and flavors. Serving at a temperature of 16°C (60°F) will best showcase its nuances. This aged Bordeaux pairs excellently with dishes like braised lamb shoulder or wild boar stew, complementing its evolved flavor profile.
