wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and ideal drinking window for this wine?
This 1995 Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru is a mature wine, likely at its peak or entering its graceful decline. Serve at 16-18°C. Given its age, we highly recommend using a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, Durand opener, or an Ah-So opener to safely remove the potentially fragile cork. Decant carefully for 30 minutes to an hour to allow it to breathe and reveal its complex tertiary aromas, but be mindful of sediment.
