When to Drink Chateau Potensac, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Potensac is not much fun to drink young, due to its tannins, and masculine style. The wine can be decanted for an average of 1-3 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 Potensac is usually better with at least 5-7 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 7-20 years of age after the vintage.
