Riedel Sommeliers Glass

Montrachet and other full-bodied white wines require a wider bowl to allow complex aromas to breathe and develop. This specific shape prevents the wine from becoming over-concentrated, ensuring the bouquet remains balanced and nuanced rather than overwhelming.

While optimized for full-bodied whites like oaked Chardonnay or Montrachet, the wide bowl is also excellent for any white wine that benefits from aeration. It is less ideal for crisp, aromatic whites like Sauvignon Blanc, which are better served in narrower glasses.

Yes, this glass is dishwasher safe. However, because it is crafted from high-quality crystal, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring the glasses are spaced properly in the rack to prevent chipping or breakage.

With a capacity of 18.342 ounces, this glass is significantly larger than a standard white wine glass. The generous size is intentional, providing ample room for the wine to swirl and release its full aromatic profile.

The Riedel Sommeliers collection is designed to balance elegance with utility. While the crystal is fine and delicate to the touch, it is durable enough for regular use provided it is handled with the care typically required for high-end stemware.
