When to Drink Chateau Faurie de Souchard, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Faurie de Souchard is better with at least 3-5 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. Chateau Faurie de Souchard is best enjoyed in the first 4-12 years of life.
Young vintages can be decanted for about 1 hour or so. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Serving and Decanting Chateau Faurie de Souchard with Wine and Food Pairings
