Red wine glass SOMMELIERS BLACK TIE BORDEAUX GRAND CRU 860 ml, Riedel

Product detailed description

The design of the Bordeaux Grand Cru Sommeliers glass dates back to 1959 and is more relevant today than ever before.

Connoisseurs are surprised, the size seems exaggerated. However, the modern big red wines, pressed from the grape varieties we recommend for this glass, require volume to achieve full development of their aromas.

Based on the formal characteristics of the glass and the flow characteristics, these wines show their velvety body, high concentration of extracts and sweet, full tannins that are bound up in the fruit. You are not expected to fill the 860 ml container completely; we recommend about 100 to 150 ml of wine.

The remaining volume is used to develop and present a concentrated, rich aroma. This allows the wine to express all its typical characteristics in its optimal shape. If we use small glasses, these wines will lose their fruity aromas and complexity and become flat, with a woody and bitter aftertaste.

• Bordeaux (red), Brunello di Montalcino
• Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Domina
• Fronsac, Graves rouge, Listrac, Margaux, Médoc
