When to Drink Chateau Soutard-Cadet, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Soutard-Cadet is better with at least 4-6 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage.
Chateau Soutard-Cadet is best enjoyed in the first 5-20 years of life. Young vintages can be decanted for about 1 hour to 90 minutes. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
