5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
Is this wine dry, semi-dry, or sweet?
It is 100% dry; its smoothness comes from the ripeness of the Chardonnay and its barrel aging, not from residual sugar.
What is its aging potential?
Under optimal conditions, it can evolve for 5 to 8 years.
Is it recommended to decant it?
It is not mandatory; opening it 15-20 minutes before or serving it in a large glass helps it open up.
