La Bastide Saint-Dominique Les Secrets de Pignan (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Produced from 100% old vine Grenache, this blasts off with its nose of molten licorice and kirsch. Lush, supple textured fruits with pepper, herbs and juicy red berries on the palate that do not want to quit. The wine has the stuffing and tannins to age and develop nicely. 2,645 Views Tasted Aug 21, 2017 |
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.
