You just received or brought back from your trip your Château Les Marcottes wines. These are fine and delicate products, and travel may be unsettling for them. Before enjoying your first bottles, please let them rest for a few weeks so that the wine is given the opportunity to recover, and can offer you its best.

Store the wines in a dark location with moderate humidity (neither too dry nor too humid), at a constant temperature (48° to 60°F) far from sources of vibrations... and patiently wait. Patience is the key word in great wines. From the harvest to the vinification, from the cellar to your table, from the bottle to the big wine glass, it is all a matter of patience to admire the beautiful color, to enjoy the multiple aromas. In that way, you will be able to best enjoy your Château Les Marcottes wines.

The Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur red wines, are ideal with red meat, wines sauces, as well as soft cheese. These wines will proudly complement your whole meal. Even more fine, our Premières Côtes de Bordeaux will show their class with these same dishes.

The Graves Rouge Château Lacoste, a fine wine with elegant robust character, goes particularly well with red meats. It will wonderfully accompany almost all your dishes, white meats, cheese, as well as mushrooms. This wine is best served unstirred at room temperature (64°F). We recommend that you open the bottle one hour before serving the wine, so that our oldest Graves wine can be appreciated by the finest connoisseurs.

The Blanc Sec Château Les Marcottes served chilled (below 50°F) is ideal with fish and seafood, as well as appetizers, and will be appreciated as aperitif.

Our Bordeaux Moelleux is very fruity, and it can be enjoyed at all times, from hot summer afternoons to evening parties.

The Chateau Les Marcottes Sainte Croix-du-Mont, as well as the Domaine du Moulin neuf en Sauternes are best served chilled (at around 46°F) in a big cristal wine glass, preferably tulip shaped. Then, behind their exceptional golden color, these wines will slowly disclose their so unique richness acquired over years of aging that is the privilege of truly great wines.

Admire, you're entering a magic world.

These wines are perfect for aperitif. They are also truly great wines to accompany your meals, nicely blending with melon, foie gras, lobster, as well as poultry and white meats, all the way to pastries and sorbets. Try simply to avoid very sweet or very spicy dishes. These wines go perfectly with versatile and imaginative cooking.

Enjoy your wine!
