wine serving
What are the ideal serving conditions and drink window for this 2000 Chateau Pape Clement Blanc?
This 2000 Bordeaux white is a mature and complex wine. We recommend serving it chilled at 10-12°C. Given its age, an Ah-So opener is advisable to protect the cork. Decanting is generally not needed for white wines, but a very short decant (15-30 minutes) might help if you wish. This wine is likely in its prime, offering developed tertiary notes and a rich texture.
