wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and drink window for this wine?
This 2000 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a mature red Burgundy. Serve at 16-18°C. It is likely in its prime drinking window now, but can still hold for several years. Due to its age (over 20 years old), we recommend using a specialized opener like an Ah-So, Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, or Durand to protect the delicate cork. Decanting for 30-60 minutes can help with aeration and sediment.
