Riedel Superleggero Bordeaux Grand Cru 2 Piece Wine Glass Set

Experience Bordeaux and Cabernet Sauvignon at the absolute pinnacle of what machine-made crystal can achieve — the Riedel Superleggero Bordeaux Grand Cru Wine Glass, 2-Piece Set. The Superleggero collection is Riedel's most ambitious engineering achievement in machine-made glassware: the largest, thinnest, and lightest glasses with the widest base diameter ever produced on a machine — delivering a glass that looks, feels, and performs like handmade stemware with a precision and consistency that handmade glass structurally cannot match.

The Bordeaux Grand Cru bowl shape has a lineage that predates the Superleggero collection entirely. It was one of the original "wine-friendly" shapes designed by 9th-generation Claus J. Riedel — the shapes that proved, for the first time, that a glass's form could genuinely improve the sensory experience of a wine. The generous bowl allows the bouquet to develop fully, smooths out the rough edges of high tannin, emphasizes fruit over bitterness, and guides Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and other full-bodied, structured reds to a state of harmonious balance that lesser vessels prevent them from reaching.

In the Superleggero format, that iconic shape is executed at the highest level of machine-made precision Riedel has ever achieved — absolute consistency in bowl shape, rim diameter, and balance across every single glass, and a crystal wall so thin and a stem so light that the glass feels closer to nothing in the hand than anything else in the machine-made category. Each glass carries a grape-varietal-specific code etched into the base for authenticity. At 33.62 oz and 11.10" tall, a genuinely commanding presence at any table. Dishwasher safe. Set of 2. From Riedel since 1756.
