wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this wine? Should I decant it, and what opener is best for older vintages?
This Brut Nature Champagne Magnum is best served chilled at 8-10°C. Magnums age slower and its optimal drinking window is from 2024 to 2038. Decanting is generally not recommended for Champagne, but serving in a large tulip glass can enhance its aromatic complexity. For any wine over 20 years old, we recommend using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to protect the delicate cork.
