Serving Advice for Old Vintages: For a 1999 white Burgundy, handle the bottle with extreme care, as the cork can be fragile. Decanting is generally not recommended for old white Burgundy, as it can diminish delicate aromas. Instead, gently pour the wine into appropriate white wine glasses, allowing it to open up slowly in the glass. Serve at cellar temperature, ideally between 12-14°C (54-57°F), to best appreciate its evolved bouquet and rich texture.
