This glass, created in 1959, is not a gadget but a precision instrument designed to highlight the unique characteristics of the great wines of Bordeaux. The large container (capacity 30cl) expresses all the depth and fullness of today's great wines made from Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cabernet-Franc and Merlot. Modern winemaking techniques allow winemakers to concentrate the fruit in such a way that young wines can sometimes appear uniform, tannic and over-oaked if served in glasses that are too small. The Bordeaux Grand Cru Sommeliers gives space and allows wines, whether young or more mature, to breathe. It separates aromas from each other and offers a wide spectrum of fragrances. On the palate, the texture of the wine - sweet, silky, velvety - is intensified and the finish accentuated. The acidity blends into the suppleness of the wine and the softness of the tannins. This is a glass that masterfully transcends the complexity and finesse of tannic red wines.

From wine glass to tasting glass: Every Riedel glass collection is designed in sensory workshops and appeals to all the senses.
No other name is as closely linked to the art and technology of glass in Europe as RIEDEL's. This is why every glass bears the Riedel inscription as a unique distinguishing mark.
