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 Pinot Noir is best served at 14-16°C. Its optimal drinking window is from 2023 to 2032. We recommend decanting for about 1 hour to allow its complex aromas to fully develop. For any wine over 20 years old, we recommend using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to protect the delicate cork.
