When to Drink Chateau Senejac, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Senejac needs some time before it can be enjoyed. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1 to hours allowing the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Chateau Senejac is usually better with at least 4-8 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau Senejac offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 6-15 years of age after the vintage.
