When to Drink Chateau Cap de Faugeres, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Cap de Faugeres is much better with at least 2-4 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 1 hour to 90 minutes. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.
Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Cap de Faugeres offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 4-15 years of age after the vintage.
