RIEDEL Sommeliers Cognac XO
The Cognac glass is perfect for providing the ideal tasting experience of Cognac: fruit, body, finesse, and fire.
Cognac is traditionally served in wide glasses like a Brandy Balloon, despite this shape's disadvantages for the enjoyment of Cognac.
This finely tuned shape harmonizes aroma and taste, tempers alcohol and stringency of the palate, and emphasizes the bouquet. In addition, the flute-shaped glass allows its contents a minimal evaporation surface.
This product is made of clear crystal glass.
Sommeliers was the world’s first wine friendly glass collection and a design revolution created by Claus J. Riedel (9th generation). The range adheres to the Bauhaus design principle of form follows function, as Claus J. Riedel had discovered that certain wines showed more depth and better balance when enjoyed from certain shapes. Thin-blown and unadorned, Sommeliers was the beginning of RIEDEL's dominance of the global wine glass market.

Hard Facts
Owning a handmade Sommeliers glass is like owning a piece of history - the collection defined a new modern age thanks to their thin, undecorated, functional design. Though they are now over 40 years old, the Grape Varietal Specific shapes remain more or less unchanged over time, demonstrating their groundbreaking innovation.
