When to Drink Chateau Ormes de Pez, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Ormes de Pez can be enjoyed young. 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 Ormes de Pez is usually best enjoyed in the first 10-20 years after the vintage. 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
Chateau Ormes de Pez is made by the same team that produces Chateau Lynch Bages. On average, close to 18,000 cases are produced every year.
