wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and ideal drinking window for this 2023 Joseph Drouhin Chambolle Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru?
This 2023 Joseph Drouhin Chambolle Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is a very young, highly age-worthy red Burgundy. It should be served slightly chilled at 16-18°C (60-64°F). Given its youth and pedigree, it will require significant cellaring. We recommend a drinking window from 2030 onwards, with its peak extending to 2050 or beyond. Decanting for 1-2 hours before serving will greatly benefit its expression.
