Serving and Decanting Goulee with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

Goulee is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness
and lift. Young vintages can be decanted for 1 hour. This allows
the wine to soften and open its perfume. The wine will also
gently warm in the glass, releasing its aromatics. Older vintages
might also need decanting, for both aerating and to remove the
sediment. The wine of Chateau Goulee is best served with all types
of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast
chicken, roasted, braised and grilled dishes.

Chateau Goulee is a perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish
courses like tuna, mushrooms and pasta as well as cheese.
