Riedel Red Wine Glass Superleggero - Bordeaux Grand Cru
The thinnest machine-made glass from Riedel
Grape variety specific wine glass
Scratch and break resistant
Lasting clarity
The Bordeaux Grand Cru glass is perfect for full-bodied, complex red wines with plenty of tannin. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to fully develop and smooths the rough edges. It highlights the fruit, reduces the bitter qualities of the tannins and allows the wines to come into balance.
This glass is perfect for the following grapes:
Petit Verdot
Brunello di Montalcino
Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Sauvignon
Carménère
What does our expert say?
Wine Specialist
If you really want to do justice to a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon or Brunello di Montalcino, this product is a serious choice. The large volume of 953 ml literally gives the bouquet room to unfold, and you notice that immediately in your glass. I see many wine enthusiasts underestimate how strongly the shape of a glass affects the tannin structure, but Riedel has simply solved this exceptionally well with the Superleggero-lijn. The fruit comes forward, the bitter edges of heavy tannins are softened, and the wine finds balance in a way you simply don't achieve with an ordinary glass. For anyone who opts for quality and wants to enjoy complex red wines at their best, this is an investment that pays off every time you pour.

FAQ
Is this wine glass dishwasher-safe?
The Riedel Superleggero Bordeaux Grand Cru glass is made of high-quality crystal and requires careful handling. Riedel recommends washing this glass by hand — doing so preserves the clarity and delicate shape the longest. Use lukewarm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft cloth or brush without abrasives.
How large is this glass exactly and does it fit in a standard glass cabinet?
This glass has a capacity of 953 ml — a generous size, purposely chosen so the bouquet of full-bodied red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon and Brunello di Montalcino can fully develop. Please note the bowl is tall and wide; check your cabinet's depth and height before giving it a permanent place.
Do I receive a single glass or a set with this purchase?
On this product page you are purchasing one Riedel Superleggero Bordeaux Grand Cru glass. If you want to set a full table, you can add multiple individual pieces to your order, or look in the range for a set offer.
For which grape varieties is this glass most suitable?
This glass has been specifically developed for full, complex red wines with high tannin. It works best with the following grape varieties: • Cabernet Sauvignon • Cabernet Franc • Petit Verdot • Carménère • Brunello di Montalcino The shape emphasizes the fruit, softens the bitterness of the tannins, and helps the wine achieve balance.
How should I store and dry this glass to prevent stains?
Dry the glass immediately after washing with a lint-free microfiber cloth — this prevents limescale streaks and water spots on the thin crystal. Store the glass upright (not upside down on the rim) to protect the fragile bowl edge. Avoid storing it next to strongly scented products, as crystal easily absorbs odors.

Already owning the Veloce champagne and chardonnay glasses these were tbe next logical addition to our collection. They're great with riesling, vino verdhe and even sparkling wine and cider.
Great ordering process and delivery as always.
Insanely fast delivery. I ordered on Sunday at lunch and got the package Monday evening in Brussels. The glasses came packaged in an additional box with carton and none of them were broken.
Hele elegante glazen. Superdun en lichtgewicht. Ook een heel fijn steeltje! Zeker niet goedkoop maar wel zo’n beetje het beste wat er valt te verkrijgen.
