Meet the Riedel Superleggero Burgundy Grand Cru glass — designed to bring out the best in light-bodied wines with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Its wide tulip shape and gently flared lip let the wine’s fresh fruit and delicate flavors shine, while toning down any harshness. Lightweight and ultra-thin, it’s made with cutting-edge precision technology, so it feels like a handcrafted glass but with flawless consistency. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe, making it as practical as it is elegant.
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 highlights the irresistible sweetness, whilst perfectly balancing the acidity and deemphasizing the alcohol, to create a perfect picture of the wine.
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.
