wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and ideal drinking window for this 1996 Laurent Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru?
This 1996 Laurent Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru is a mature and elegant red Burgundy. We recommend decanting it for 1-2 hours to allow it to fully express its complex aromas, and serving at 16-18°C. Its optimal drinking window is likely now through 2030. For older vintages, we recommend using a Durand or Ah-So opener, along with a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, to protect the delicate cork.
