wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and drink window for this 2016 Leflaive Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru?
This 2016 Leflaive Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru is a superb white Burgundy. We recommend serving it chilled at 12-14°C (54-57°F). While it can be enjoyed now, it will benefit from further aging. Decanting is generally not needed for white Burgundy, but allowing it to breathe for 30 minutes in the glass can enhance its complex aromas. Its optimal drinking window is likely from 2024 to 2036+.
