wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and ideal drinking window for this wine? Should I use a special opener?
For this 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Colombis, we recommend serving it at 16-18°C. It is currently enjoyable but will continue to evolve, with an ideal drinking window from 2024 to 2035. As it's not an extremely old vintage, a standard corkscrew should suffice.
