wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 1995 Bourgogne Aligoté (Blanc)? Should I use a special opener?
For this 1995 Bourgogne Aligoté (Blanc), we recommend serving it chilled at 10-12°C (50-54°F). Given its age, it is likely past its peak drinking window, but some well-stored bottles might still offer pleasant tertiary notes. It's best to consume it soon. For wines over 20 years old, an Ah-So opener is highly recommended to gently remove the potentially fragile cork.
