When to Drink Yann Chave, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Yann Chave, when young, should be decanted at least 1-2 hours, give or take, allowing the wines to soften and open their perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Yann Chave is usually better with 7-9 years of cellaring and should be at its best between 10-20 years of age.
Serving Yann Chave with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Yann Chave is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
