A red Burgundy is ideally served between 14°C and 16°C. At this temperature, Pinot Noir reveals the full finesse of its aromas: cherry, raspberry, violet, and truffle depending on the age of the wine. Too warm, it appears heavy and alcoholic; too cold, it closes up and loses aromatic expression. For a white Burgundy, a temperature of 11°C to 13°C is recommended to balance freshness and complexity. It is advisable to remove bottles from the refrigerator about twenty minutes before serving.
