wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 2016 Armand Rousseau Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru? Should I decant it?
This 2016 Armand Rousseau Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is a young, complex, and highly age-worthy wine. We recommend serving it at 14-16°C. While it has immense aging potential, decanting for 1-2 hours can help it open up and express its delicate aromas if consumed now. Its optimal drinking window will be many years from now, evolving beautifully over decades.
