wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting, and drink window for this Jacques Selosse Substance Champagne?
This Jacques Selosse Substance Champagne is best served chilled at 8-10°C. As it is a non-vintage Champagne, a specialized opener like an Ah-So, Durand, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener is not typically required. It is ready to drink upon release but can also age further to develop more complexity. Decanting is not recommended for Champagne.
