wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and optimal drinking window for this 1985 Champagne Vincent Gonet Special Club Blanc de Blancs?
This 1985 Champagne Vincent Gonet Special Club Blanc de Blancs is a rare, mature vintage Champagne. Serve chilled at 8-10°C (46-50°F). Decanting is generally not recommended for Champagne, but allowing it to breathe in the glass for a few minutes can enhance its complexity. Its optimal drinking window is likely now to the next 3-5 years. Given its age, we highly recommend using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to safely extract the delicate cork.
