wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting time, and optimal drinking window for this 1994 Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru?
For this 1994 Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru, we recommend serving it at 14-16°C. Given its age (30 years old), we suggest using a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, Ah-So, or Durand opener to protect the delicate cork. A brief decant of 30-60 minutes can help it open up, but be mindful of very old wines. It is likely at or near its peak drinking window now, offering complex tertiary aromas.
