When to Drink Chateau Poujeaux, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Poujeaux can be decanted for an average of 1-2 hours, give or take. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Poujeaux is usually better with at least 4-7 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau Poujeaux offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 5-20 years of age after the vintage.
