When to Drink Domaine La Bastide Saint Dominique, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Domaine La Bastide Saint Dominique can be enjoyed on the young side. Young vintages can be popped and poured, or decanted for 1 hour, 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.
Domaine La Bastide Saint Dominique is usually better with 2-4 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages, the wine should be consumed within 4-10 years after the vintage.
