A good bottle should be a celebration.

To bring out the best in our red wines, we recommend serving them at a temperature of 15-16°C (59-61°F). It is often worth decanting young Burgundies just before the meal, we do not think it is advisable for vintages over ten years old. Please be careful, while a little oxygen helps the wine to open up, too much exposure can damage it.

We hope that our greatest years will age for thirty or so years, but we don't believe in aging for aging sake! Twenty years seems like a maximum for all but the best vintages- anything under our "four bunch rating" below should be drunk in the first ten years.

It is essential for a good ageing of the wine that it be preserved in a place with low temperature, away from the light and if possible with good humidity (70% or more).
