People think of decanting old and robust red wines. Most wines actually benefit from decanting:
- Old and robust reds are decanted to filter sediments and aerate
- Young reds needs aeration in order to quickly open.
- Rich, classic white Burgundy will benefit from decanting well before tasting
Here is what NOT to decant:
- Few old red Burgundy wines can accept decanting and could evolve too fast
- Light and fruity white wines will not benefit from decanting
- And finally, let's not lose the bubbles of a fine Champagne
