Wine Style and Serving
Yellow wine ages extremely well. The wine will keep for a long time, and 50 to 100 years is not unheard of.
Vin jaune is often served at cellar temperature 13–15 °C (55–60 °F) and the wine is sometimes decanted, exposing it to more oxygen prior to serving in order to stimulate the wine's unique aromas. The wine can be paired with savory food dishes with local Jura cuisine often including chicken recipes where the wine is cooked with the chicken itself and as a sauce component. Another common pairing is the local Comté cheese that is produced in the Franche-Comté region.

Narrowing the mustard scansions of the eyes,”

Everybody knows its a mask, and sooner or later you must show yourselfor at least, you show yourself as someone who could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind....

This have I won,
For my goodwill
To be undone;”
