When to Drink Chateau Citran, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Saint Paul can be decanted for an average of 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.
Chateau St. Paul is usually better with at least 2-4 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau Citran offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 4-9 years of age after the vintage.
