wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and drink window for this 2017 Laurent Ponsot Clos du Vougeot Cuvée du Cèdre Grand Cru?
This Grand Cru Burgundy Pinot Noir from 2017 is still quite young. It benefits from decanting for 1-2 hours to allow its complex aromas to open up. Serve at 16-18°C. The optimal drink window is likely from 2027 to 2040+, as it has significant aging potential. Given its youth, a standard corkscrew is suitable; Ah-So or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener are not strictly necessary yet.
