Riedel Sommelier Bordeaux/Grand Cru

The Sommeliers series was developed as an all-embracing state-of-the-art wine glass collection. Praised in 1991 by Robert Parker, Jr., publisher of The Wine Advocate, as “The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make.” Thanks to worldwide demand, Sommeliers is now the wineglass benchmark and the most successful series of hand-made glasses in the world. Each glass is individually made: the upper parts blown into a mould, the stem and base hand-crafted.” Sommeliers are executed in over 24% lead crystal. The large bowl (30 ounce capacity) of the Bordeaux glass brings out the full depth of contemporary wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
