This limited edition Bordeaux Grand Cru glass, launched in 2020, is part of Riedel’s prestigious Black Tie collection. Designed by 9th generation Claus J. Riedel, this glass was among the first “wine friendly” shapes crafted to elevate full-bodied, tannin-rich red wines such as Bordeaux blends. With a generous 860 ml capacity and a height of 282 mm, its large bowl allows the wine’s bouquet to fully develop, softening harsh tannins while highlighting the fruit’s richness and balance. Crafted from fine crystal and handmade, the glass features a distinctive pink accent, making it both a functional wine glass and a striking collector’s piece designed to enhance your wine experience and your collection.

The Bordeaux Grand Cru glass is perfect for full-bodied, complex red wines that are high in tannin.

This shape was one of the original 'wine friendly' glasses designed by 9th generation Cluas J. RIEDEL. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully, and smooths out the rough edges. It emphasises the fruit, playing down the bitter qualities of the tannin, and allows wines to achieve balance.

SOMMELIERS BLACK TIE SPECIAL EDITION PINK is a limited edition production launched in Y2020. It can be used as a drinking vessel but it is primarily considered as an object of beauty gracing the homes of wines collectors.
