wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this wine? Do I need a special opener?
This 2024 Cotes du Rhone is still very young. We recommend decanting it for 1-2 hours before serving at 16-18°C to allow its aromas to fully develop. While it can be enjoyed now, it also has the potential to age gracefully for another 5-10 years. For younger wines, a standard corkscrew is usually sufficient.
