wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and ideal drinking window for this 1995 Ropiteau Freres Meursault Aux Perrieres 1er Cru?
This vintage is over 25 years old. We recommend using an Ah-So opener to prevent cork breakage. Serve chilled at 12-14°C. While typically not decanted, a short 15-30 minute decant can help an older white Burgundy open up. It is drinking beautifully now.

asian food pairing / wine style
What is the style of this wine and what Asian dishes would pair well with it?
This is a premier cru White Burgundy from Meursault, made from Chardonnay. It's known for its full-bodied, rich, and complex style, often featuring notes of hazelnut, butter, citrus, and a distinct minerality, with elegant oak influence. It pairs wonderfully with richer seafood, roasted chicken, or creamy pasta dishes. Consider pairing it with steamed fish with ginger and spring onion, richer dim sum, or even Japanese tempura.
