wine serving
What are the ideal serving conditions and drink window for this wine? Should I use a special opener?
This red Burgundy is best served at 16-18°C. For a 2016 vintage, it is still young for a Grand Cru and will benefit from further aging, likely reaching its peak in 5-15 years. Decanting is recommended for young Grand Cru Pinot Noir to allow it to open up and express its full complexity. As this wine is not yet 20 years old, a standard corkscrew should suffice. For older vintages, we recommend using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to protect the cork.
