Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru Wine Glass

The Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru glass is meticulously shaped to honour the delicate balance found in light‑bodied red wines with fresh, compact fruit. Originally designed in 1958 by 9th‑generation glassmaker Claus J. Riedel, this was one of the earliest truly wine‑friendly shapes, created to enhance varietal expression through precise form. Its wide tulip bowl and gently flared lip highlight the natural sweetness of Burgundy‑style wines while softening acidity and downplaying alcohol, resulting in an exquisitely harmonious tasting experience.

Handmade by Riedel’s master artisans, each glass carries a unique character, with natural variations such as tiny bubbles or slight dimensional differences that reflect its handcrafted origin. True to the Bauhaus principle of form follows function, the Sommeliers collection revolutionised modern glassware, proving that shape profoundly influences aroma, balance, and flavour. Thin‑blown, elegant, and unadorned, this design remains a benchmark in the world of fine wine service.

Crafted from premium crystal glass and fully dishwasher‑safe, the Burgundy Grand Cru glass is ideally suited to grape varieties such as Pinot Noir, Beaujolais Cru, Volnay, Vosne‑Romanée, Musigny, and other Old World Burgundy expressions. With its impressive 1050ml capacity and 24.8cm height, it provides extraordinary room for delicate aromatics to bloom.
