Product Details:

The Bordeaux Grand Cru glass is perfect for full-bodied, complex red wines that are high in tannin. This shape was one of the original 'wine-friendly' glasses designed by Claus J. Riedel, 9th generation. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully and smooths out the rough edges. It emphasises the fruit, downplays the bitter qualities of tannin, and allows wines to achieve balance.

Sommeliers was the world’s first wine-friendly glass collection and a design revolution created by Claus J. Riedel (9th generation). The range adheres to the Bauhaus design principle of form follows function, as Claus J. Riedel discovered that certain wines showed greater depth and better balance when served in specific shapes. Thin-blown and unadorned, Sommeliers was the beginning of RIEDEL's dominance in the global wine glass market.
