RIEDEL Vinum Oaked Chardonnay/Montrachet Set of 2

These aesthetically stunning glasses will aerate your Montrachet to perfection. The beautiful bulbous curves of the glass facilitate perfectly controlled, smooth and balanced drinking whatever setting you find yourself in... whether holding court at a formal dinner party at the ambassador’s residence or simply lying back naked on your sofa with the most beautiful woman in the world sat astride you... a must for any wine buffs collection!

Really well packaged. Undid and washed glass. Tried a chilled Meursault which seemed to be much brighter in the glass and seemed to me tasted fuller in my mouth. Had washed and they came out sparkling and ready to use.

Riedel glasses strike about the best balance between price and quality. These are machine blown crystal and consistently high quality. This is a specific shape for Montrachet (according to Riedel) - well, white Burgundy or Chablis or Chardonnay - it doesn't really have to be Montrachet. There are fairly large glasses that show off the wine to very good effect. Worth the investment.

The only way to drink Montrachet and don't forget not to chill it too much; 15 or 16 deg C should be fine - about an hour and a half in the fridge, no more.

Having been drinking only white burgundy for years I was surprised to find there is a specific glass for white burgundy. One of the few manufacturers I could find. Beautiful glasses and does make the wine taste even better

Excellent red wine glasses (whatever they say) and they work well for big french chardonnay whites too (like they say). I prefer this shape to the classic magnum red shape because the wine is closer to the nose even if the glass is nearly empty. Many riedel red wine glasses keep the wine too far away for my tastes unless the glass is relatively full. Also the angle of the glass is not significantly different to red wine glasses either so the wine is delivered to the right part of the mouth too (whatever they say)
