wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting time, and drink window for this 2002 Robert Arnoux Vosne Romanee Les Chaumes 1er Cru?
This mature Burgundy Pinot Noir is best served at 14-16°C. Given its age, a gentle decant for 30-60 minutes is recommended to allow it to breathe without losing its delicate aromas. It is likely at its peak or entering a graceful decline, so enjoy it soon. For opening older bottles, we recommend using an Ah-So opener or a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to protect the fragile cork.
