wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and decanting time for this wine? What is its optimal drinking window? For older vintages, consider using a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, Durand, or Ah-So opener to protect the cork.
For this 2008 Coche Dury Auxey Duresses, serve chilled at 10-12°C. Decanting is generally not required for white Burgundy, but a brief 30-minute aeration can enhance its aromas. The optimal drinking window is currently from 2018 to 2028. As this wine is not yet over 20 years old, a standard corkscrew is suitable, but for future older vintages, consider a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, Durand, or Ah-So opener to protect the cork.
