wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and decanting advice for this 2002 Dom Perignon Rosé Methuselah (6.0L), and what is its optimal drinking window?
For this magnificent 2002 Dom Perignon Rosé Methuselah, serve well-chilled at 8-10°C (46-50°F). Decanting is not recommended for Champagne, especially in large formats, to preserve its effervescence. The 2002 vintage is highly acclaimed, and this large format will age gracefully for many more years, offering a long drinking window. It is drinking beautifully now but has significant potential for further evolution. For opening, we suggest using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener due to the age of the cork.
