Riedel Sommeliers Bordeaux Grand Cru, Single Stem Overview
This glass, first created in 1959, is not a design gimmick but a precision instrument, developed to highlight the unique characteristics of the great wines of Bordeaux.The large bowl (capacity 30 oz) brings out the full depth of contemporary wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.Modern vinification techniques enable wine-makers to concentrate the fruit to such an extent that young wines may seem one-dimensional, tannic and over-oaked if served in smaller glasses. The Sommeliers Bordeaux Grand Cru gives breathing space to both young and more mature wines, unpacking the various layers of bouquet and delivering a full spectrum of aromas. On the palate, the texture of the wine ??? soft, silky, velvety ??? is intensified and the finish prolonged, gently blending acidity with supple, sweet tannins. This is a glass that showcases these majestically structured red wines in all their complexity and finesse. The simple yet beautiful glass is mouth-blown and made in Austria and executed in over 24% lead crystal. For safe transporting, this individual stem arrives in its own shipping container with reinforced ends.Recommended for: Bordeaux (red), Brunello di Montalcino, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Domina, Fronsac, Graves rouge, Listrac, Merlot, M??doc, Margaux, Moulis, Pauillac, Pomerol, St. Emilion, St. Est??phe, St. Julien, Sangiovese, Sangiovese-Grosso.Riedel Sommeliers Bordeaux Grand Cru, Single Stem Specifications
