wine serving
What is the ideal serving temperature and drink window for this 2013 La Grange des Pères Magnum?
For this 2013 La Grange des Pères Magnum (1.5L), we recommend serving it at 16-18°C (60-64°F). Magnums typically age slower and more gracefully than standard bottles. This wine is still quite youthful and can be enjoyed now after 2-3 hours of decanting, or cellared for another 10-15 years to develop further complexity.
