How & Why to Decant Wine? | Easy Tutorial

[@welshtoro3256]

I often ask for wine to be decanted at restaurants. If it's a half decent wine it gives it some chance of opening up during the meal. People pay top dollar for a complex wine and start drinking it straight away before it's had a chance to to shine. Letting it breathe when the wine is above the neck line is not going to help. It really needs to oxidise and the very act of pouring out the entire bottle into the decanter helps tremendously. I think many people don't think to ask or are too embarrassed but most decent places will respect you the more for doing so. Good review. WT

The wine left in the bottle with the sediment I use for sauces and gravy... Particularly with Beef and Venison.

It's a good idea indeed 👍😊🥂

Nice straight-forward explanation of decanting

Merci Cathrine 🙏🙏😃👍🍷

[@willpatchett1419]

In my opinion ALL wine can be decanted. Degrees to how long you decant depends on the grape variety and age; for instance Barolo often requires sometimes a minimum of 6 hours of slow oxidation in a decanter. You can speed that process up with an aerator, but I would avoid that if the wine is 10+ years or older as that may bruise or force too much oxygen loosing much of the delicate flavours. A fine metal sieve can be placed over the top of the decanter to catch the sediment. Thank you for sharing your methods and techniques.

Bonsoir Julien! I bought a OWC of 6 Chateau Canon 2017 and Leoville-Barton 2017! First Question when does it make sense to taste one, because i am really curious. Secondly i wanted to know why should someone wait this kind of Carbernet to drink, is it about the tanins and they are so strong. How would be the taste different, because when i read scorings Robert Parker etc..their is always written how perfect the wine already is but as well someone writes, you should forgett it 5 years in the cellar, it makes me a bit confus. I also wanted to buy Montrose, what is the big difference from a Montrose to a Figeac, Barton or Canon...someone from Millisime told me, Montrose really could take 20 to 50 Years until he would open, and that as well in early years there is a time where it is shortly open. Can you help me with some advice please!?

[@patricksnyder3446]

I would recommend pouring your wine through a Vinturi with a screen into the decanter to filter out sediment and any other debris. The primary pour through the Vinturi will also help aerate the wine!

God Bless You Julien, stay safe

[@heathercurnett1766]

This was fascinating to learn, thank you! May I ask, what is the piece of music that plays in your opening credits?

[@YouTubeJulien]

Hi Heather :-) Tx for the kind feedback. Glad you enjoyed. If that's at the beginning of the vid, it's a piece called 'Wonder by Eill', there's this video playing it here on KZbin here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWOwfZWAhcpon6M Is that the one?

[@heathercurnett1766]

@@KZbinJulien, that is it indeed! It gets my ASMR all fired up. I'll enjoy with some wine. ;-) Thank you kindly!

[@tashacook2451]

Julien, what do you think about California wines? That's all I can afford right now. What do you suggest?

[@YouTubeJulien]

I love California wine. We've just released a US wine selection with the wine club I talk about in this video, so I got to taste a few. Here's the video I made about the wines, all really delicious and recommended: bonnerprivatewines.com/tasting/usa-wine-collection-julien-miquel/ Otherwise, generally speaking, I don't have access to Cali wines because I live in France and we don't get them here :-( So I'm not the right person to ask recommendations about California wines unfortunately. that's the club I work for, with an offer on Argentine wines if that's of interest, not cheap, but they're good wines, and we send quarterly wine selections from all around the world: www.bonnerwine.club/JulienMiquel Take care Tasha :-) And hige thanks for stopping by and the kind words 🍷

[@msjoanofthearc]

Bravo and Thank You Julien, very informative and important.

[@YouTubeJulien]

My pleasure! Thank you very much 🙏🙏😊🥂

[@nicholasbet4839]

Brilliant Julien...merci!

[@erikl2144]

Not sure if I fully understood the concept of the dedicated "decanter". I just take my (used) bottle of wine out of the refrigerator about 2 hours before consuming, then pour it into my (big) wine glass an hour before, and let it "decant" there. (meaning more- aerating it there). That's mainly because I do not drink the entire bottle but a glass everyday (sorry, by myself). About sediments- I don't think I encountered many, maybe because my (Cabernet) wines are not very old, but in any case, if it's a good wine, when I get to the end (after 4 days or so)-- hey, I pour it all and consume it all! Yup! à santé!

[@YouTubeJulien]

Perfect Eric 👍appreciate the sharing. We all have different ways of enjoying wine, fair enas long as we enjoy and respect the vino 😊🥂

Thanks for taking my mind off of corona virus

[@YouTubeJulien]

Thank YOU Tasha :-) Glad to hear it's useful and somewhat entertaining 🙏🙏🤗🥂 take care

[@pentuplove6542]

There is no such thing as corona virus. You must be wanting to say Coronavirus Disease 19 aka CoViD-19.

[@pentuplove6542]

[@somedude2748]

Is your channel for wine or pronunciations?

[@eggfrittata]

??

[@sgist7824]

I hate the thought of wine being asphyxiated in a bottle, so I try to liberate as many as possible 😀😎

[@jhea55]

where have you been my friend?????

[@YouTubeJulien]

Hi man, I know! I've been making videos but mainly for other channels, including for the wine club I talk about here: kzbin.info/door/SHHB3SBhaygeRxzTBV5kMA Most videos are for members only unfortunately at this point, but we'll be releasing some. You would have come across that other channel I make videos for as well, right? kzbin.info/door/cKEdHaIX31LrywZmGwRUnw I post there regularly :-) Anyhow, good to have our interactions back with this vid, more to come 😀🥂🥂 (what did you think of this video btw?)

[@jhea55]

Love all ur videos. I knew a good bit about decanting already but always pick up something from you. Will check out your other channel soon.
