Riedel Superleggero Burgundy Grand Cru 2 Piece Wine Glass Set

Give Pinot Noir and Burgundy Grand Cru the most precisely engineered glass ever made for them — the Riedel Superleggero Burgundy Grand Cru Wine Glass, 2-Piece Set. The largest, thinnest, and lightest machine-made crystal Riedel has ever produced, in the bowl shape that has defined great Pinot Noir service for more than half a century — executed at a level of machine precision that the original handmade version could never consistently achieve.

The Burgundy Grand Cru shape 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 fundamentally changes the sensory experience of a wine. Where the Bordeaux Grand Cru shape manages power and tannin, the Burgundy Grand Cru is calibrated for the exact opposite challenge: fragility, delicacy, and the fresh compact fruit of light-bodied reds with high acidity and moderate tannin. The wide tulip bowl with a slightly flared lip highlights Pinot Noir's irresistible sweetness, perfectly balances its high acidity, and de-emphasizes alcohol — creating what Riedel describes as a "perfect picture" of the wine. Recommended for Burgundy Grand Cru, Chambolle-Musigny, Échézeaux, Musigny, Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, Beaujolais Cru, and all the great appellations of the Côte d'Or.

In the Superleggero format, that iconic shape is executed at the highest level of machine-made precision Riedel has ever achieved — absolute accuracy in bowl shape, rim diameter, and balance across every glass, with a crystal wall so thin and a glass so light it feels closer to air than stemware. At 36.05 oz and 10.87" tall with a 4.49" widest diameter — the widest bowl of the two Grand Cru shapes — this is a glass that captures even the most ephemeral aromas of great Burgundy before they can escape. Each glass carries a grape-varietal code etched into the base. Dishwasher safe. Set of 2. From Riedel since 1756.
