The Burgundy Grand Cru glass is perfect to support the balance of fragility and fresh compact fruit in light-bodied wines. This shape was one of the original 'wine friendly' glasses designed by 9th generation Claus J. RIEDEL. The wide tulip shape and slightly flared lip highlight the irresistible sweetness, whilst perfectly balancing the acidity and deemphasizing the alcohol, to create a perfect picture of the wine. The RIEDEL Superleggero is a masterpiece of state-of-the-art technology. The perfection of premium machine-made glass compared to handmade lies in the precision of the bowl and rim diameter and its consistent quality. The collection includes the largest, thinnest, and lightest glasses with the widest base diameter of up to 106 mm ever produced on the machine to date. “Premium” defines the advantage of machine-blown RIEDEL glass vs. hand-made glass. The difference lies within the precision. Since RIEDEL glasses are fine-tuned instruments that support your wine enjoyment, we must make sure that there are no variances in the execution of the bowl and rim diameter, which is the key to our philosophy!
