wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and decanting time for this 2023 Francois Morente Hautes Cotes de Beaune Rouge? What is its optimal drinking window?
This 2023 Francois Morente Hautes Cotes de Beaune Rouge is a young wine. We recommend serving it at 14-16°C (57-61°F). Decanting for 30-60 minutes can help soften its youthful tannins and allow its aromas to open up. It can be enjoyed young for its fresh fruit, but will develop more complexity over the next 3-7 years.
