wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and drink window for this 2018 Moet & Chandon Damien Hirst Edition?
Serve this Champagne well-chilled at 8-10°C (46-50°F). This 2018 vintage, especially as a special edition, is enjoyable now for its freshness and vibrancy, but also has the potential to age gracefully for another 5-10 years, developing more nuanced complexity. Decanting is not recommended for Champagne.
