What is the ideal temperature for a natural cellar?
The perfect cellar temperature is 12 °C, with an acceptable range of 10-14 °C. But here's the crucial point: stability matters more than the exact number. A cellar that stays at a steady 13 °C year-round is better than one that swings between 10 °C in winter and 18 °C in summer. In Belgium, a cellar dug at least 2.5 metres deep naturally achieves these conditions.
