wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 2014 René Bouvier Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru?
This Grand Cru Burgundy is best served at cellar temperature, around 16-18°C (60-64°F). It benefits from decanting for 1-2 hours before serving to allow its complex aromas to fully develop. While enjoyable now, it has excellent aging potential and can continue to evolve beautifully over the next 5-15+ years. No special opener is required as it is not yet 20 years old.
