Made of hand-blown glass, this large decanter is used to decant young red wines with developing aromas.  It is designed to allow greater exposure of air, thus helping an immature wine to "breathe" and release more flavor and aroma than simply letting the wine rest in the bottle.  Capacity is suitable for a magnum 1.5L bottle of wine. 

Peugeot's history begins in the 19th century with the manufacturing of items such as coffee and pepper grinders.  More than 160 years later, Peugeot products still set the standard in the kitchens of the greatest chefs.

Why should you use a decanter?  A decanter provides the ideal environment for a wine to reveal the subtle details of its color and the diversity of its aromatic palette, one that will refine the wine's taste to enable the full expression of its intensity.  As well as being an object d'art, the decanter should also be a functional tool, designed specifically to accentuate all the pleasures that wine tasting has to offer. 

A little extra info about your wine: Young reds, whether designed for aging or earlier consumption, often possess overpowering acids and, particularly, tannins.  Pouring them into a decanter that promotes contact between the wine and the air helps accelerate the maturing process through oxygenation, enabling the wine to age (mellow) considerably within a few hours.
