wine serving
What are the serving suggestions and optimal drinking window for this wine?
This Château Simone Palette Blanc from 2005 is best served chilled at 10-12°C. We recommend decanting it for about 30 minutes to allow its complex aromatics to fully express themselves. The optimal drinking window is now through 2030. Given its age, we suggest using a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, Durand, or Ah-So opener to protect the delicate cork.
