Wine is a Delicate Commodity
Wine is a perishable commodity. Wine does not like extremes of temperature: hot humid summer and cold winter weather may adversely affect the condition of your wine during shipment. VGS Chateau Potelle monitors & chooses shipping dates very carefully. If the customer specifies a unique shipping date it is the responsibility of the customer to reschedule shipment due to temperature.
Decanting and Storage
We recommend letting our wines rest after delivery for a few weeks before opening. However, if you’re in a VGS emergency and can’t wait, open the bottle and decant it a few hours before you plan to enjoy it. Wine is delicate so we recommend storing in an area that never exceeds 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
