This 1986 Gevrey Chambertin is a mature wine. We recommend decanting for 30-60 minutes to allow it to breathe and serving at 16-18°C (60-64°F). Its drink window is now, but assess its condition upon opening. Given its age (over 20 years), an Ah-So opener is highly recommended to protect the fragile cork.

This mature Gevrey Chambertin, made from Pinot Noir, will likely exhibit earthy, savory notes with dried fruit, forest floor, and subtle spice. It pairs wonderfully with umami-rich Asian dishes such as roasted duck, mushroom-based stir-fries, Peking duck, or even delicate Korean BBQ.

This bottle is in excellent condition for its age, with a perfect label (score 10), a very good base neck fill level (score 8), and an intact capsule (score 10). For home storage, keep it horizontally in a cool, dark place with consistent temperature (10-15°C) and humidity (70-75%), away from vibrations and strong odors.
