IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPERATURE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPERATURE
Your unit has been designed to ensure optimal conditions for storing and/or serving your
wines.
Fine wines require a long and gentle evolution and need specific conditions to reach their
full potential.
All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set at between
11ºC and 14ºC. Only the temperature of "dégustation" (wine appreciation) varies according to
the type of wines (see the table of wine serving temperatures above). That said, and as in the
natural cellars used by wine producers for long storage periods, it is not the exact temperature
that is important, but its constancy. In other words, as long as the temperature of your cellar is
constant (between 11°C and 14°C, or 52°F and 57°F) your wines will be kept in perfect
condition.
Not all wines improve with age. Some should be consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years)
while others have an enormous ageing capacity (50 years or more). All wines have a peak of
maturity. Consult your wine merchant for relevant information.
At too high a temperature (over 20°C) the wine ripens too quickly, which prevents the aromas
from developing further. The wine cannot fully mature at too low a temperature (below 5°C).
Fluctuations in temperature stress the wine and disrupt the maturation process. It is
therefore very important to maintain a constant temperature.
Tip: Store the wine 1 or 2°C cooler than the recommended drinking
temperature, as it warms up a little when poured into the glass.
Tip: Full-bodied reds should be opened for 2-3 hours before drinking to allow
the wine to breathe and develop its aroma.
