Polished, powerful and loaded with sweet fresh kirsch, jam and cracked pepper. Soft tannins and loads of fruit in the long the finish here. Great job for this new estate in their debut vintage.

When to Drink Domaine de Saje, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Domaine de Saje can be enjoyed on the young side. Young vintages can be popped and poured, or decanted for 1-2 hours. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.

Domaine de Saje is usually better with 3-4 years of bottle age. Of course that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages the wine should be consumed within 4-14 years after the vintage.
