Chateau Lilian Ladouys can be enjoyed somewhat early. However; the wine is often better with at least a few years of bottle age. Of course; that can vary slightly; depending on the vintage. Chateau Lilian Ladouys is usually best enjoyed in the first 10-20 years of life.

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.

Lilian Ladouys is best served with all types of classic meat dishes; veal; pork; beef; lamb; duck; game; roast chicken; roasted braised and grilled dishes. Lilian Ladouys is also good with Asian dishes; hearty fish courses like tuna; mushrooms and pasta.
