wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting time, and drink window for this 1990 Maillard Pere & Fils Corton Renardes Grand Cru? What type of opener is best for this vintage?
This 1990 Maillard Pere & Fils Corton Renardes Grand Cru is a mature Burgundy. Serve at 14-16°C (57-61°F). Decanting for 30-60 minutes can help it express its complex aromas, but be cautious with older Pinot Noir. The optimal drink window is likely now through 2028. For older vintages like this, we highly recommend using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to safely remove the fragile cork.
