wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 1964 Pommard? Should I use a special opener?
For this mature 1964 Pommard, we recommend serving it at 16-18°C (60-64°F). While it's well past its typical drinking window, it might still offer a fascinating tertiary experience. Due to its age, we highly recommend using a specialized opener like the Ah-So or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to prevent cork breakage. Decant carefully, if at all, to separate any sediment.

asian food pairing / wine style
What is the typical style of this Pommard wine, and what Asian dishes would pair well with it?
Pommard wines are known for their robust, full-bodied style within Burgundy Pinot Noir, often displaying earthy notes, red fruit, and firm tannins in their youth, evolving into complex savory and forest floor aromas with age. It pairs wonderfully with richer Asian dishes like Peking duck, roasted pork belly, mushroom-based stir-fries, or even a hearty Korean bulgogi.
