Peugeot Prestige Decanter
The mouth-blown glass Presitge decanter has a pewter collar in a contemporary design. Its sloping lines facilitate oxygenation and ensure that when the wine is served, it flows smoothly down the walls without agitation. It is particularly suitable for young red wines.
For a 75cl bottle.
Why use a decanter?
Wine is poured into a decanter above all to awaken it so that it can reveal its full personality.
Mature red wine decanter:
A mature wine is fragile; its aromas have reached their peak. Decanting it seperates the wine from its sediment and provides very slight oxygenation, which will gently awaken it. A decanter with a long, narrow neck and slightly pot-bellied base minimises the exchange of air, preserving the wine's bouquet while enchancing its colour.
Young red wine decanter:
The ideal decanter for a young wine is wide-based or has a horizontal shape (known as "Canard" [duck-shaped]), to favour the mingling of wine with the air.
White wine decanter:
To reveal the subtle fleeting aromas of a white wine, it will have to breathe, and be protected from rapid evaporation. A mature wine decanter will thus be used to preserve it while revealing the nuances of colour.
