La Ferme du Mont Côtes Capelan (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Nice style of wine that is already drinking well and can age a bit. Loads of sweet, fresh, juicy kirsch, raspberries, thyme, smoke, coffee and earthy aromatics, with fat, round textures, good concentration of flavor and a sweet, spicy, ripe, red berry finish. The wine was made from a blend of 90% Grenache and Mourvedre. 2,192 Views Tasted Jun 16, 2016 |
When to Drink La Ferme du Mont, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
La Ferme du Mont can be enjoyed on the young side. Young vintages can be popped and poured, or decanted for about 1 hour, 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.
La Ferme du Monts is better with 3-4 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages, the wine should be consumed within 4-15 years after the vintage.
