RIEDEL Sommeliers Montrachet
The Montrachet glass is perfect to reveal the intensity of full-bodied white wines, including the wine's multi-layered aromas. With a larger volume, the wide open-mouthed bowl enables the rich bouquet to develop its wonderfully diverse range of aromas, emphasizing the finesse while minimizing the risk of richer style white wines becoming over-concentrated.
This product is made of clear crystal glass.
Sommeliers was the world’s first wine friendly glass collection and a design revolution created by Claus J. Riedel (9th generation). The range adheres to the Bauhaus design principle of form follows function, as Claus J. Riedel had discovered that certain wines showed more depth and better balance when enjoyed from certain shapes. Thin-blown and unadorned, Sommeliers was the beginning of RIEDEL's dominance of the global wine glass market.

Hard Facts
Owning a handmade Sommeliers glass is like owning a piece of history - the collection defined a new modern age thanks to their thin, undecorated, functional design. Though they are now over 40 years old, the Grape Varietal Specific shapes remain more or less unchanged over time, demonstrating their groundbreaking innovation.
