Depends where you are and what the ambient temperature is - we had a bottle of Cremant de Bourgogne on Sunday that was at room temperature
(late Autumn in England is chilly, but certainly not cold), and it was absolutely delicious.
My father-in-law had been talking about chilling the flavour out of champagne, so it can be used as a trick if you're serving something less than great.
Then again, ice cold champagne on a Summer afternoon (preferably with strawberries) is absolutely wonderful...
Cheers,
Andrew
