wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this wine? Should I decant it?
For this Taittinger Collection Arman 1981 Champagne, we recommend serving it well-chilled at 8-10°C. Decanting is not suitable for Champagne. This mature vintage Champagne is still enjoyable, but past its peak, so drink soon. As this wine is over 20 years old, an Ah-So opener is recommended to protect the delicate cork.
