Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru Glass

<p>The Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru glass was described by Decanter magazine as 'The finest Burgundy glass of all time, suitable for both young and old Burgundies.' </p> <p>Its shape, developed in 1958, represented a quantum leap in terms of wine glass design, and has earned it a place in the permanent display of the New York Museum of Modern Art. </p> <p>This 'beautiful monster' of a glass can take apart a lesser wine, mercilessly showing up its weaknesses. But a great wine - a top-class Burgundy, Barolo or Barbaresco - will be revealed in all its glory. </p> <p>The large bowl allows the bouquet to develop to the full, while the slightly flared top lip maximises the fruit flavours by directing a precise flow onto the front palate. Certain wines and grape varieties require this type of controlled delivery. </p> <p>By ensuring that the fruit is highlighted while using the marked acidity of the wine to keep the flavours in balance, this is a glass that produces a superbly three-dimensional 'taste picture'. </p> <p>The Riedel Sommelier Burgundy Grand Cru glass is mouth blown from lead-free crystal. </p> <p> <strong>Height </strong> 248 mm <br> </p> <p> <strong>Capacity </strong> 1050 ccm </p> <p> <strong>Production </strong> mouth-blown in Austria </p>
