Allow 65 minutes from open to pour.

2. Serve at 14-16°C. Cellar temperature (14-16°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
3. Glassware. Use a Burgundy bowl with a wide opening: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
4. Pair with. Roast beef sirloin, Mushroom-stuffed chicken, Aged Cantal or Salers cheese. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.

History

The Cote du Py parcellaire from Domaine des Rosiers draws on schist-volcanic soils of the signature Morgon hill, giving a more concentrated, mineral wine than the village classique.
