When to Drink Chateau Rocheyron, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Rocheyron is better with at least 4-6 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. Chateau Rocheyron is best enjoyed in the first 5-22 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.
Serving Chateau Rocheyron with Wine, and Food Pairing Tips
