There is plenty of debate and lots of Burgundy purists prefer not to decant Burgundy on the theory that the rapid oxygenation of the wine strips it of too many subtleties. Many of them, if they are drinking a young Burgundy, will open it very early in the day and let it breath super-slowly through the neck of the bottle. But plenty of others think that’s overly fussy and if you’re short of time you should absolutely decant. If you don’t know how you feel about this it can be fun to decant half the bottle and then compare and contrast.
