wine serving
How should I serve this 2009 Comte Armand Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru Magnum and what is its ideal drinking window?
This 2009 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru is a powerful and structured Burgundy Pinot Noir, especially in a Magnum format which allows for slower, more graceful aging. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F). Decanting for 2-3 hours is highly recommended to soften its tannins and allow its complex aromatics to fully express themselves. This wine is entering its prime drinking window but has significant potential to evolve further, offering enjoyment over the next 10-15 years.
