wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 1990 Morin Montrachet Grand Cru? Should I decant it, and what opener is best for such an old vintage?
This 1990 Montrachet Grand Cru is a mature white Burgundy. Serve it at 12-14°C. It is likely at its peak or in its optimal drinking window, so enjoy it soon. A short decant might help it open up, but be cautious with very old white wines. For opening, we recommend using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to protect the fragile cork.
