Château Larmande is vinified in 16 temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats that range in size from 74 hectoliters up to 136 hectolitres. The wine is aged in 60% new, French oak barrels for close to 18 months. The exact amount of time varies, depending on the vintage.

The wine needs some time before it can be enjoyed. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1 hour or more. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.

It gets better usually with at least 5-7 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character, and offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 5-17 years of age after the vintage.

Château Larmande is best served at a cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift, and best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes, Asian fare, or even hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
