Chardonnay, like most wines, lacks a strict expiration date, but its quality can diminish over time. Typically, a bottle of Chardonnay is best enjoyed within 3-5 years of its vintage for optimal flavor. However, premium Chardonnays can age gracefully for a decade or more. To maintain its quality, ensure proper storage in a cool, dark environment, ideally with consistent temperature and humidity. This helps preserve its flavor profile and extend its longevity, allowing you to savor its complexities over time.
