When to Drink Chateau Grand Village, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Grand Village is much better with at least 3-5 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 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 Grand Village offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 4-15 years of age after the vintage.
