wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and optimal drinking window for this Chateau Grand Mayne 2010 Magnum?
This 2010 Chateau Grand Mayne Magnum (1.5L) is best served at 16-18°C (60-64°F). We recommend decanting it for 1-2 hours to allow its complex aromas to fully develop. Magnums age gracefully, and this wine is in its prime drinking window now, but can be cellared for another 5-10 years, reaching its peak around 2025-2035.
