wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 1995 Clos Rougeard Brézé Saumur? Should it be decanted, and what type of opener is best?
This 1995 Clos Rougeard Brézé Saumur, a white wine, is best served chilled at 10-12°C. Given its age (29 years), decanting for 30 minutes is highly recommended to allow it to express its full complexity and to separate any potential sediment. For such an old vintage, we strongly recommend using a specialized opener like the Ah-So, Durand, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to protect the fragile cork.
