Storage advice

For storing white wine such as Domaine Corsin Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes 2022:

- Temperature: Store at a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). This cool range maintains the wine’s crispness and preserves its delicate flavors without prematurely aging it.

- Light exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or artificial light as light can degrade the wine and cause unpleasant flavors.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is properly sealed with the original cork or stopper. Avoid drying out the cork by maintaining moderate humidity as a dry cork can allow oxygen to enter and spoil the wine.

- Bottle position: Store bottles on their side to keep the cork moist preventing it from shrinking and letting air inside. This is especially important for long-term storage with unopened bottles.

- Humidity: Maintain a humidity level around 60–70% to keep corks from drying out and shrinking. Low humidity increases the risk of oxidation.

- For opened bottles: Once opened re-cork tightly and store in the refrigerator at about 45°F. Consume within 2–3 days for best quality. Refrigeration slows oxidation but prolonged refrigeration can dry out corks if not properly sealed.

No special storage conditions beyond typical white wine practices are required for this type of white wine. Stable cool dark and moderately humid conditions optimize preservation of unopened and opened bottles.
