This crystal glass was described by Crystal Decanter magazine as The finest Burgundy crystal glass of all time, suitable for both young and old Burgundies. Its shape, developed in 1958, represented a quantum leap in terms of wine crystal glass design - and has earned it a place in the permanent display of the New York Museum of Modern Art. This 'beautiful monster' of a crystal glass can take apart a lesser wine, mercilessly showing up its weaknesses. But a great wine - a top-class Burgundy, Barolo or Barbaresco - will be revealed in all its glory. The large Crystal Bowl allows the bouquet to develop to the full, while the slightly flared top lip maximizes the fruit flavors by directing a precise flow onto the front palate. Certain wines and grape varieties require this type of controlled delivery. By ensuring that the fruit is highlighted while using the marked acidity of the wine to keep the flavors in balance, this is a crystal glass that produces a superbly three-dimensional 'taste picture'.
Ideal for following grapes:Barbaresco, Barolo, Beaujolais Cru, Blanc de Noirs, Burgundy (red), Chambolle Musigny, Champagne, Echezeaux, Franciacorta, Musigny, Nebbiolo, Nuits Saint Georges, Palomino (Sherry), Pinot Noir New World, Pinot Noir Old World, Pommard, Romanee Saint Vivant, Rose Champagne, Santenay, Volnay, Vosne-Romanee, Vougeot
