Riedel Sommeliers: Montrachet Glass
 
The Montrachet appellation in Burgundy produces the world's finest and costliest dry white wines. The wide mouth of this generously shaped glass steers the wine mainly to the sourness-sensitive edges of the tongue, ensuring that the acidity is sufficiently emphazised to create a harmonious balance with the luscious fruit of the late-harvest, healthy grapes and the sweet toasty aromas of the wine’s aging in oak barrels. The size of the bowl allows space for the rich bouquet to develop its superbly diverse range of aromas, while minimizing the risk of it becoming over concentrated. Of course, outstanding Chardonnays from other regions and countries can also be enjoyed from this glass.
