The Riedel Superleggero Bordeaux Grand Cru glass is designed for those bold, full-bodied red wines packed with complex flavors and firm tannins. With its generous size and perfectly crafted shape, it helps mellow out any harsh edges while highlighting the rich fruitiness and depth of your favorite Bordeaux blends. Made with cutting-edge precision, this ultra-light, thin crystal glass feels like it’s handmade but offers consistent quality every time. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe — a perfect blend of elegance and convenience for serious wine lovers.

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.
