EN MAGNUM+, an Expert and Technical Perspective on Wine

A leading magazine dedicated to gastronomy and wine, EN MAGNUM+ offers an expert exploration of key tasting topics, combining technical insight with sensory enjoyment.

In its April 2026 edition, journalist Guillaume Puzo dedicates an article to an essential subject: wine serving temperature. Through a detailed analysis, he highlights how aromatic expression and palate balance are closely linked to tasting conditions, influenced by factors such as context, cuisine, and cultural habits.

Brouilly “Les Deux Amis” as a Demonstration

To illustrate his point, Guillaume Puzo draws on a tasting of Château de La Chaize’s Brouilly “Les Deux Amis” 2023.

Served at different temperatures, the wine reveals distinct profiles: more restrained and structured at 17°C, it gains roundness and precision around 19°C, before gradually losing freshness and balance as the temperature rises further.

This practical demonstration highlights the finesse and expressive potential of the estate’s wines, while underscoring the importance of proper serving conditions in revealing their full complexity.
