wine serving
How should I serve this wine and what is its optimal drinking window?
This 2017 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru is a powerful yet elegant wine that benefits from aging. Serve at 16-18°C. Decanting for 1-2 hours is recommended if consumed young to allow its structure to soften and aromas to open. Its optimal drinking window is likely from 2027 onwards, and it will continue to evolve for 15-20+ years.
