wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and optimal drinking window for this Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru?
This 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru from Michel Niellon is a very young white Burgundy. We recommend serving it chilled at 10-12°C (50-54°F). While it can be enjoyed young, decanting for 30-60 minutes can help it express its full potential. Its optimal drinking window is likely from 2029 to 2045, allowing its complex layers to unfold. An Ah-So opener is not required as the wine is not over 20 years old.
