Domaine LePlan-Vermeersch GT-1 (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Rich, lush, opulent and packed with sweet kirsch, black raspberries, cherries, thyme and peppery notes, this is ready to go. Made from 100% Grenache, the wine is ripe, slightly jammy, but there is more than enough freshness and purity of fruit to go around. 1,559 Views Tasted Aug 8, 2015 |
When to Drink Domaine Leplan Vermeersch Chateauneuf du Pape, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Domaine Leplan Vermeersch can be enjoyed on the young side. Young vintages can be popped and poured, or decanted for about 1 hour, more or less 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.
Domaine Leplan Vermeersch is usually better with 3-5 years of bottle age. Of course that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages the wine should be consumed within 4-14 years after the vintage.
