Riedel Sommeliers Bordeaux Grand Cru Wine Glass

The Riedel Sommeliers Bordeaux Grand Cru glass is masterfully shaped for full‑bodied, complex red wines with firm tannins. Originally designed in 1959 by Claus J. Riedel, this was one of the first truly wine‑friendly glass shapes—crafted with the understanding that form profoundly affects aroma, balance, and flavour. Its generous 860ml bowl gives powerful reds the space they need to unfold, smoothing rough edges, highlighting fruit, and softening tannins to achieve perfect harmony.

Handmade by Riedel’s master glassmakers, each glass carries subtle variations that reflect its artisan origins. In keeping with the Bauhaus principle of form follows function, the Sommeliers series pioneered modern varietal‑specific glassware and established the benchmark for today’s wine‑tasting standards. Thin‑blown, unadorned, and meticulously balanced, the Bordeaux Grand Cru remains one of the most influential designs in wine glass history.

Crafted from premium crystal glass and fully dishwasher‑safe, it is ideal for iconic red varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Carménère, and classic Bordeaux blends. With a height of 27cm, it brings elegance, precision, and timeless craftsmanship to both professional and home wine service.
