wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting time, and optimal drinking window for this 2001 Des Comtes Lafon Meursault Genevrieres 1er Cru?
This 2001 Meursault is a mature white wine. We recommend serving it chilled at 12-14°C. Decanting is generally not required, but a short 30-minute decant can help it open up. Given its age, an Ah-So opener, Durand, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener is recommended to handle the cork. It is likely at its peak or slightly past, offering a complex and evolved profile.
