The Ideal Glass for Ruchè
The Bordeaux Glass was designed for enjoying fuller-bodied, tannic red wines.
|
They are taller than other red wine glasses, and has a slimmer bowl.
The slimmer bowl directs the wine to the back of your mouth for a maximum taste. The size also allows the bouquet of the wine to develop, smooth out rough edges, play down tannins, and allow the wine to achieve balance. |
