Serving Advice: Wines of this age are extremely delicate. Keep the bottle undisturbed and upright for at least a week prior to serving to allow all sediment to settle. The cork will likely be very fragile; use a professional corkscrew like a Durand or an Ah-So. Decanting is generally not recommended for such old and fragile wines, as too much air can cause them to fade rapidly. If sediment is a concern, carefully pour directly from the bottle, stopping when sediment appears. Serve at a cool cellar temperature, around 15-17°C (59-63°F), to preserve its delicate aromatics.
🍴 Pair this ethereal Musigny with the simplest, most refined dishes to allow its complex nuances to shine. Think a perfectly roasted pigeon, a delicate consommé, or very lightly seared foie gras. Avoid strong flavors, heavy sauces, or anything that would compete with its subtle grandeur.
