  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. Coq au vin, Pate en croute lyonnais, Saucisson de Lyon. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
