wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and ideal drinking window for this wine?
This 2008 Montrachet Grand Cru is a mature white Burgundy. Serve it chilled at 12-14°C (54-57°F). It is likely in its prime drinking window or approaching it; decanting for 30-60 minutes can enhance its complexity. For opening, we recommend using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener due to its age.
