wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru, and should it be decanted?
This 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru is a powerful and structured wine, still young but showing great promise. We recommend serving it at 14-16°C (57-61°F). Decanting for 45-90 minutes can help soften its tannins and reveal its depth. For wines over 20 years old, consider using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to protect the delicate cork.
