wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 2002 La Tâche Grand Cru, and do I need a special opener?
This 2002 La Tâche Grand Cru, a large format 6.0L bottle, is best served at 16-18°C (60-64°F). Given its age (over 20 years old), we highly recommend using an Ah-So wine opener to protect the delicate cork. Decant for 2-3 hours. The optimal drink window is from 2024 to 2040, potentially longer due to the magnum format.
