wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and optimal drinking window for this wine?
This 1993 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Gravains 1er Cru is a mature red Burgundy. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F). Decanting for 30-60 minutes is recommended to allow it to open up and shed any sediment. Given its age, we highly recommend using a specialized opener like the Ah-So, Durand, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to safely remove the fragile cork. The optimal drinking window is likely now, as it's at its peak maturity.

Store horizontally in a cool (10-15°C), dark place with consistent humidity (60-75%), away from vibrations and strong odors.
