Red wine glass SOMMELIERS BLACK TIE BURGUNDY GRAND CRU 370 ml, Riedel

Product detailed description

The English wine magazine Decanter describes this Burgundy Grand Cru Sommeliers glass on the occasion of a comparative tasting as "The finest Burgunder glass of all times, suitable for both young and old burgundies"

Another unusual accolade for this unique 1957 shape is that the Museum of Modern Art (New York) has this glass on permanent display.

However, the evil tongues also call this beautiful creation the "goldfishbowl", because the drinking vessel with a volume of more than 1000 ml is simply unique. (Warning: never pour more than 150 ml.)

Light wines do not feel good in a glass of Burgundy Grand Cru Sommeliers, their lack of expression is completely lost in it. Full-bodied wines, on the other hand, literally "blossom" in it and present even the finest aromas in unsuspected fullness and intensity. Thin-skinned red varieties produce less intense wines with acidity that can spoil the drinking experience.

The shape of the Burgundy Grand Cru Sommeliers glass, on the other hand, integrates the acidity into the fruity taste. The wine from this gently open shape flows directly onto the tongue and enhances the fruit and sweet flavours. As a result, the mouth develops an exciting play of fruit and acidity that harmoniously complements the taste impression of this wine.
