wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and decanting time for this wine, and what is its optimal drinking window? Given its vintage, should I use a special opener?
For this 2004 Clos Vougeot Musigni Grand Cru, serve at 16-18°C. Decant for 1-2 hours to allow it to open up. The optimal drinking window is from 2024 to 2034. As it is 20 years old, we highly recommend using a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, Ah-So, or Durand opener to safely remove the potentially fragile cork.
