wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and drinking window for this 1962 Louis Roederer Cristal? Given its age, are there any special opening instructions?
For this venerable 1962 Cristal, serve at 10-12°C. While it's likely at or past its peak, well-stored Cristal can still offer a remarkable experience. A brief decant might help it open up, but be cautious with very old wines. We recommend using an Ah-So opener for wines over 20 years old to protect the fragile cork.
