wine serving
What are the ideal serving conditions and drink window for this 2005 Chateau Soucherie Champ aux Loups Anjou Rouge?
This 2005 Anjou Rouge, now 19 years old, is likely at a mature stage, offering developed aromas and flavors. We recommend decanting it for 1-2 hours before serving at 16-18°C to allow it to fully express itself. It is within its optimal drink window now and should be enjoyed in the next few years. No special opener like the Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, Durand, or Ah-So is needed yet.
