When to Drink Domaine Duclaux, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Domaine Duclaux, when young, should be decanted at least 1-2 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 Duclaux is usually better with 5-7 years of cellaring and should be at its best between 8-15 years of age.
Serving Domaine Duclaux with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
