When to Drink Domaine Pierre Gaillard, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Domaine Pierre Gaillard, when young, should be decanted at least 1-3 hours, give or take, allowing the wines to soften and open their perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Domaine Pierre Gaillard is usually better with 7-9 years of cellaring and should be at its best between 10-20 years of age.
