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 9th generation Claus J. Riedel. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully, and smooths out the rough edges. It emphasises the fruit, playing down the bitter qualities of the tannin, and allows wines to achieve balance.
RIEDEL - THE WINE GLASS COMPANY is well-known for developing grape varietal-specific stemware. RIEDEL Crystal was the first in history to recognise that the shape of the vessel from which a beverage is taken affects the flavour and aroma of the beverage, and has been recognised for its revolutionary designs complementing alcoholic beverages and other liquids.
All Riedel glasses are dishwasher safe.
