wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting time, and drink window for this 1995 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru?
This 1995 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru is a mature white Burgundy. We recommend serving it chilled at 12-14°C (54-57°F). Decanting for 15-30 minutes can help it open up. Given its age, a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, Durand, or Ah-So opener is highly recommended to safely extract the cork. It is likely in its optimal drinking window, showcasing complex tertiary aromas.

asian food pairing / wine style
What is the typical style of this Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru, and what Asian food pairings would you suggest?
Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru, made from Chardonnay, offers a rich yet elegant profile with notes of ripe orchard fruit, hazelnut, butter, and distinct minerality. With age, it develops honeyed and nutty complexities. It pairs wonderfully with richer Asian seafood dishes like steamed fish with ginger and spring onion, creamy crab dishes, or even a delicate chicken hotpot.
