wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 1991 Pernand Vergelesses? Should I decant it?
This 1991 Pernand Vergelesses is a mature Burgundy. We recommend serving it at 16-18°C (60-64°F). It is likely at or past its peak, so we suggest drinking it now. For older wines, an Ah-So opener is recommended to prevent cork breakage. Decanting is generally not advised for very old wines unless significant sediment is present, and even then, only for a short period to avoid over-oxidation. It's often best to let it breathe in the glass.
