wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Telegramme? Should I decant it?
This 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Telegramme is best served at 16-18°C. As it is a very young vintage, we recommend decanting it for 1-2 hours if you plan to enjoy it soon, to allow its vibrant fruit and spice notes to fully express themselves. It is approachable now but will continue to evolve and can be enjoyed from 2025 through 2035+.
