Good to know

  • Decant a young, firm Cabernet for an hour to soften it.
  • Stand older bottles upright for a day so sediment settles before pouring.
  • Red meat and hard cheese soften Cabernet’s tannins.

Common questions

What does Cru Classé mean on Bordeaux?

It means the estate was ranked in an official classification, most famously the 1855 classification of the Médoc and Graves. It shows status, not a guarantee of style or quality in every vintage.

Does Cabernet Sauvignon need decanting?

Young, structured Cabernet often benefits from an hour in a decanter. Older bottles may have sediment and should be poured carefully. Everyday fruity Cabernet is usually fine straight from the bottle.
