wine serving
What are the ideal serving conditions and drink window for this wine? Should I use an Ah-So opener?
This 2016 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru is best served chilled at 12-14°C. It can be enjoyed now, but will develop more complexity and richness with 5-15+ years of cellaring. Decanting is not typically required for white Burgundy, but a brief aeration might help if it seems closed. An Ah-So opener is not needed.
