Cellaring & drinking window

Wine Enthusiast recommends drinking from 2022 for the exact artist-edition wine in the standard bottle, as reproduced by Wine Express. It is therefore a candidate to enjoy now if well stored. A reliable final drinking year has not been established here; do not assume that the presentation or price promises decades of further aging. 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 46–50°F (8–10°C) in a tulip-shaped wine glass. Try with roast chicken, lobster or a mushroom dish; do not decant.

After opening & when to enjoy

Close with a sparkling-wine stopper and refrigerate upright. Enjoy within 1–2 days for the freshest bubbles and aroma.
