Riedel Sommeliers Burgundy 4400/16 (Can't Ship) (Elsewhere $125.00)

SKU #720026

4 glasses per case. Price is per stem. Cannot Ship. This glass was described by Decanter magazine after their first official glass comparison as 'The finest Burgundy glass of all time, suitable for both young and old Burgundies.' Its shape, developed in 1958, represented a quantum leap in terms of wine 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 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 bowl allows the bouquet to develop to the full, while the slightly flared top lip maximises the fruit flavours 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 flavours in balance, this is a glass that produces a superbly three-dimensional ‘taste picture’. Recommended for: Barbaresco, Barolo, Beaujolais Grand Cru, Blauburgunder, Burgundy (red), Gamay, Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir. Height: 248mm 9 3/4 in. Capacity: 1050 ccm 37 oz. (manufacturer code 400/16) Glassware shipping rates here.

Are these glasses fragile, expensive and to large to store easily? Do they put a magnifying focus on any flaw in an average Pinot? Yes- guilty as charged! I don't recommend them to everyone, but for the right home there is simply no better glass. Cinnamon and I have owned six of these for more than a decade, used them at least once a week, and never broken one. If you love Burgundy and elegant Pinot Noir from other parts of the world, and are willing to invest the time to hand wash these incomparable glasses and the money to purchase them, you will not be disappointed!
