wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 1997 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru? Should I decant it, and what type of opener is best for older wines?
This 1997 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru is best served at 16-18°C. Given its age of over 20 years, we highly recommend using an Ah-So opener, Durand opener, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to prevent cork breakage. Decanting for 1-2 hours will allow its elegant aromas to fully develop. The optimal drink window is from now until 2028 and potentially beyond.
