Wine, in perpetual evolution, transcends time. Its dynamic nature is shaped by the seasons and the years, leaving a distinct imprint that reveals its maturity and uniqueness. This transformation, influenced by factors such as age, storage conditions and even bottle format, creates a captivating sensory story.
Preserving these bottles over several decades requires not only ideal conditions, but also a careful understanding of the subtle metamorphoses taking place in each wine. Aged wines acquire more complex, mature aromatic qualities and a deeper, amber hue.
Our team is available to guide you in the judicious preservation of your bottles over the years.
Excessive heat accelerates the aging process and affects the quality of the wine, while too low a temperature slows down the wine's evolution, hindering the development of its complexity. We recommend maintaining a constant, moderate temperature, ideally between 7 and 18°C, to ensure optimal storage conditions.
Exposure to light can damage wines, especially Champagne. It is crucial to protect clear glass bottles in particular. Maintaining humidity levels above 70% is essential to preserve the cork's physical and elastic qualities. Low humidity, combined with excessive temperature, can dry out the cork, causing it to develop too quickly.
Careful handling and storage of wine bottles is crucial to preserving their quality and characteristics.
Avoiding vibrating bottles is particularly important, as vibrations can disrupt the wine's natural sedimentation, accelerate oxidation, alter the wine's molecules and deteriorate the cork. These negative impacts can compromise the wine's aging process and influence its subsequent tasting. Stable storage away from excessive vibration promotes optimal aging and maintains the integrity of the wine's aromas and flavors.
