wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting time, and drink window for this wine? Should I use an Ah-So opener?
For this 1997 Vincent Girardin Pommard Les Vignots, serve at 14-16°C. Decant for 30-60 minutes to allow its mature aromas to unfold. The optimal drink window is now through 2028. Given its age, we highly recommend using an Ah-So opener to protect the delicate cork.
