This limited edition glass, launched in 2020, celebrates the iconic Burgundy Grand Cru design by 9th generation Claus J. Riedel. Originally created in 1958 and recognized with a Grand Prix award, this glass revolutionized wine tasting with its large bowl and precise shape to enhance complex red wines. Part of the elegant Black Tie collection, this version features a tall black stem paired with a clear base, accented with a sophisticated pink detail. Crafted from fine crystal and handmade, it stands 276 mm tall and holds 1050 ml. While perfect as a functional glass, it’s also a stunning collector’s piece for wine lovers and connoisseurs alike.

Sommeliers Black Tie commemorated, in 2008, the 50 year anniversary of RIEDEL's iconic Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru Glass, designed by 9th generation Claus Riedel.

RIEDEL's Grand Sommeliers Wine Glass Collection was born in 1958 when the Burgundy Grand Cru glass (or "Pokal Hoch") was first shown at the World Exhibition in Brussels. It instantly received a "Grand Prix" Award for its creative and striking design and, shortly after, New York's Museum of Modern Art selected it for their permanent collection as a significant design.

As a young designer at the start of his career, Claus Riedel created this magnum opus following the request of Conte Odazio, an Italian nobleman and business partner, who told him: "I am tired to drink my fine Piedmont red wines from small glasses!" Based on the functionality of this truly unique work of art, Claus began a lifetime exploration to discover how the shape and size influence the drinker's perception of the wine's aroma and flavor.

Based on the timeless original shapes, the anniversary collection Sommeliers Black Tie includes a set of classic and elegant glasses. The red wine glasses feature a tall black stem with a clear base and the white wine glasses feature a black base with a tall clear stem.

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.
