wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and decanting suggestions for this wine, and what is its optimal drinking window? Should I use a special opener?
This 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune Pinot Noir is best served at 14-16°C. A short decant of 30-60 minutes can help it express its aromas fully. It is currently approaching its prime drinking window, offering a beautiful balance of fruit and savory notes, and can be enjoyed now or aged for several more years to develop further complexity. As it is not yet over 20 years old, a standard corkscrew is suitable; special openers like Ah-So, Durand, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener are not strictly necessary.
