When to Drink Chateau La Croix Taillefer, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau La Croix Taillefer can be enjoyed on the young side with decanting. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1 hour or so. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Chateau La Croix Taillefer is usually better with at least 3-4 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau La Croix Taillefer offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 4-12 years of age after the vintage.
