When to Drink Chateau L'Evangile, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau L'Evangile needs time before it begins to show its true character. L'Evangile needs at least 10-15 years of aging in good vintages until it is ready to be enjoyed.
Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 hours or more. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau L'Evangile offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 12-40 years of age after the vintage.
