Superleggero // Bordeaux Grand Cru

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—the name says it all. This impeccable glassware series is handcrafted and mouth blown with shapes designed alongside sommeliers to emphasize specific grape varieties. Each perfectly balanced glass will impress with its exquisite lightness and slim, elegant appearance. And for the first time in Riedel's history, the label for the Superleggero series is located alongside the Riedel logo on the base.
