Elevate your finest Bordeaux and full-bodied red wines with the RIEDEL Superleggero Bordeaux Grand Cru Red Stem glass. Featuring one of RIEDEL's most iconic bowl shapes, this glass is expertly designed to enhance complex aromas, showcase rich fruit character, and soften tannins for exceptional balance and elegance.
Crafted from premium crystal using state-of-the-art technology, the Superleggero collection combines the precision of machine-made glassware with the look and feel of handmade craftsmanship. Exceptionally light, thin, and perfectly balanced, this striking black-stem edition offers a luxurious tasting experience for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Bordeaux blends, and other structured red wines.

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 Claus 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.

RIEDEL Superleggero is a masterpiece of state-of-the-art technology, confirming RIEDEL's position as a technical pioneer.
The perfection of premium machine-made glass compared to handmade lies in the precision of the bowl and rim diameter and its consistent quality, guaranteeing a product to maximally support wine enjoyment. The collection includes the largest, thinnest, and lightest glasses with the widest base diameter ever produced on machine.
Perfectly balanced and with the look and feel of a handmade glass. Each glass carries a grape-varietal specific code on the center of the base to identify the grape-variety.

This item is premium machine-made.
“PREMIUM” defines the advantage of a machine blown RIEDEL glass vs. a hand-made glass. The difference lies within the precision.
