wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and drink window for this 1998 Bouchard Pere & Fils Beaune Greves Vignes de l'Enfant Jesus 1er Cru?
This 1998 Beaune 1er Cru is a mature Burgundy Pinot Noir. We recommend decanting it for 30-60 minutes to allow it to open up, and serving at 16-18°C (60-64°F). It is likely in its prime drinking window now, offering complex savory and earthy notes. Given its age, an Ah-So opener is recommended to safely remove the cork.
