Riedel Sommeliers Chablis / Chardonnay 4400/0 - 1 pcs.

A chilled Chablis from Burgundy shows best in a glass that doesn't hide its sharp minerality behind a thick rim. The Sommeliers Chablis / Chardonnay glass is built for exactly that.

The Expert's Description

The Riedel Sommeliers Chablis / Chardonnay 4400/0 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. The Sommeliers line launched in 1973 as the world's original hand-blown glass collection, with each glass built for a specific wine style – long before Riedel's later machine-made lines brought the same principle to a wider audience. The Chablis / Chardonnay glass has a relatively narrow bowl that holds on to the fresh acidity and minerality typical of unoaked or lightly oaked Chardonnay.

Design & Material

The narrow, elongated bowl is hand-blown so the opening stays relatively small compared to the bowl's volume – this traps the delicate, fresh aromas that would otherwise escape quickly in a wider glass. The stem is drawn long enough that your hand never needs to touch the bowl itself.

Use & Recommendation

The glass suits unoaked or lightly oaked Chardonnay, such as Chablis from Burgundy, where the fresh acidity and minerality need to stand out clearly. Hand washing is essential here – the heat and chemicals of a dishwasher can damage the thin, hand-blown crystal over time.

Did You Know?

Chablis, part of the glass's name, is actually a defined geographical area in northern Burgundy, not a grape variety. The wine is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes, but can only be called Chablis if it comes from that specific area.
