RIEDEL Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru

The Burgundy Grand Cru glass is perfect to support the balance of fragility and fresh compact fruit in light-bodied wines.
This shape was one of the original 'wine friendly' glasses designed by 9th generation Claus J. RIEDEL. The wide tulip shape and slightly flared lip highlights the irresistible sweetness, whilst perfectly balancing the acidity and deemphasizing the alcohol, to create a perfect picture of the wine.

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 had discovered that certain wines showed more depth and better balance when enjoyed from certain shapes. Thin-blown and unadorned, Sommeliers was the beginning of RIEDEL's dominance of the global wine glass market.

Sommeliers

The original Grape Varietal Specific collection

Sommeliers changed glassware forever after Claus J. Riedel recognized that the size and shape affect your perception of aroma and flavor. Each glass was designed specifically for wine enjoyment, with help from experts such as Robert Parker and winemakers including Gaja, Guigal, and Robert Mondavi. The shapes are now a benchmark for modern glassware, only improved on by the Riedel family.
