When to Drink Chateau Camensac, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Camensac needs some time before it can be enjoyed. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1-2 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 Camensac is usually better with at least 6-9 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau Camensac offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 7-17 years of age after the vintage.
