wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and decanting time for this wine, and what is its optimal drinking window? For wines over 20 years old, we recommend using a specialized opener like the Ah-So, Durand, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to protect the fragile cork.
This young 2024 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru is best served chilled at 10-12°C. No decanting is typically needed, or a very brief aeration if preferred. It can be enjoyed now for its vibrant freshness or cellared for a few years to develop more complexity.
