Riedel Sommeliers Black Series Special Edition Bordeaux Grand Cru -Violet

The RIEDEL Sommeliers Black Series Special Edition Bordeaux Grand Cru – Violet belongs to the legendary Sommeliers collection, the groundbreaking grape varietal–specific wine glass series first introduced by RIEDEL in 1973.

This historic collection revolutionized wine service by demonstrating how glass shape directly influences the way wine aromas, flavors, and textures are experienced. Developed through collaboration with professional sommeliers and wine experts, the Sommeliers series quickly became the benchmark for fine wine glassware.

Each glass is handmade and mouth-blown from fine crystal, showcasing the highest level of craftsmanship in RIEDEL’s Austrian glassmaking tradition. The Black Series Special Edition enhances the classic design with a vivid violet crystal stem, creating a modern aesthetic while preserving the iconic Bordeaux Grand Cru bowl shape.

The Bordeaux Grand Cru bowl is carefully engineered for powerful red wines, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon-based blends. Its generous size allows wines to aerate properly, unlocking aromatic complexity, while the rim diameter directs the wine across the palate in a way that balances fruit concentration, acidity, and tannin structure.

This glass is widely favored by sommeliers, collectors, and fine dining establishments seeking the ideal vessel for serving structured red wines.
