wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and optimal drinking window for this 2020 Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf-du-Pape Piedlong?
This 2020 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Piedlong is best served at 16-18°C. Being a younger vintage, decanting for 1-2 hours is highly recommended to allow it to open up and express its full aromatic complexity. It can be enjoyed now for its vibrant fruit, but will also age gracefully for another 10-15 years, developing more nuanced flavors.
