  2. Serve at 10-12°C. Cellar temperature (10-12°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a medium-sized white-wine glass: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
  4. Pair with. Pike-perch with riesling sauce, Roast veal with morels, Aged Comte. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
