Cellaring & drinking window

A reliable drinking window for this specific six-liter format has not been verified. Large bottles can develop differently from standard bottles, so a 750mL estimate should not be transferred automatically. Confirm storage history before planning a long hold; assess the wine before deciding how much air to give each portion. Store unopened in darkness at a stable temperature around 55°F (13°C), away from vibration; keep natural-cork bottles on their side.

Pairing & serving

Serve at 60–64°F (16–18°C) with roast beef, game or aged cheese. Stand upright beforehand; taste and decant in manageable portions only as needed.

After opening & when to enjoy

Recork and refrigerate after opening. Aim to enjoy within 2–3 days for fresh flavor; allow a chilled glass to warm slightly before serving.
