When to Drink Chateau Pape Clement, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Pape Clement needs time before it begins to show its true character. Pape Clement needs at least 10-15 years of aging in good vintages until it is ready to be enjoyed. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-4 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 Pape Clement offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 15-50 years of age after the vintage.
