For this 2009 Côtes de Brouilly Cuvée Zaccharie, we recommend serving it at 14-16°C (57-61°F). While Cru Beaujolais is often enjoyed young, this older vintage might benefit from a brief decant of 30-60 minutes to open up. An Ah-So opener is highly recommended for older vintages like this. The optimal drinking window is generally from 2015 to 2025.
