Riedel Superleggero Chardonnay 2 Piece Wine Glass Set

Give the world's greatest full-bodied white wines the glass they have always deserved — the Riedel Superleggero Chardonnay Wine Glass, 2-Piece Set. The most technically advanced expression of Riedel's most celebrated oaked Chardonnay shape, executed at the engineering pinnacle of the Superleggero collection: the largest, thinnest, and lightest machine-made crystal Riedel has ever produced, in the wide open-mouthed bowl purpose-built for the rich, multi-layered aromatic complexity that defines Montrachet, Meursault, Corton-Charlemagne, and the finest oaked Chardonnays from Burgundy and California.

The Chardonnay shape solves the defining serving challenge of full-bodied white wines — one that a bowl too small or too narrow consistently fails. The rich bouquet of oaked Chardonnay demands space: room to develop its wonderfully diverse range of smoky, toasty, buttery, mineral, and fruit-forward aromas before each sip, without the wine's intensity becoming over-concentrated in a vessel that is too compact for its ambition. The wide open-mouthed bowl provides exactly that — enough volume and surface area for the bouquet to unfold fully, while the bowl geometry emphasizes the finesse of full-bodied whites and delivers the wine's rich, velvety texture to the palate with layered aromatic complexity that reveals itself progressively rather than all at once.

In the Superleggero format, that iconic shape is realized at a level of machine precision impossible to achieve consistently by hand — absolute accuracy in bowl shape and rim diameter, a crystal wall so thin and a stem so light that the glass virtually disappears in the hand, leaving only the wine and the experience. Each glass carries a grape-varietal code etched into the base. At approximately 27 oz and 9.25" tall. Recommended for oaked Chardonnay, Montrachet, Meursault, Corton-Charlemagne, Pouilly-Fuissé, and white Burgundy. Dishwasher safe. Set of 2. From Riedel since 1756.
