Storage advice
For optimal storage of Marc de Bourgogne consider the following practical recommendations regarding temperature light sealing bottle position humidity and storage specifics for unopened and opened bottles:
- Temperature: Store Marc de Bourgogne at a stable cool temperature ideally between 12°C and 20°C (54°F to 68°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations and extremes since Marc is an aged eau-de-vie and sensitive to heat but does not generally require refrigeration.
- Light Exposure: Protect the bottle from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. UV light can degrade the spirit’s quality over time. Store it in a dark place or a cupboard to preserve its character.
- Sealing: The bottle usually has a cork stopper which should be kept moist enough to prevent shrinkage but not wet. For unopened bottles ensure the cork remains intact and airtight. Once opened recork tightly to minimize evaporation and oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Since the spirit is high in alcohol and generally less sensitive to cork drying than wine the bottle can be stored upright to avoid prolonged cork contact with the liquid which could lead to cork taint or breakdown of cork quality.
- Humidity: Store in an environment with about 50–70% humidity to maintain cork integrity preventing it from drying out and leaking air into the bottle. Excessive humidity may encourage mold but is less critical than for wine.
- Special Storage Tips Specific to Marc de Bourgogne:
- The spirit is traditionally aged in oak barrels with natural cellar conditions; however once bottled these requirements do not apply but suggest that natural cellar-like conditions are ideal for preservation.
- Because it is a distilled spirit with around 40-45% ABV it is more stable than wine and can maintain quality for years if stored properly even after opening.
- After opening minimize exposure to air by recorking tightly and consuming within a reasonable timeframe (months to a few years) to avoid flavor degradation from oxidation.
