The Burgundy glass
Shorter than a Bordeaux. Wide, balloon-shaped bowl. Slightly tapered rim. Built for delicate aromas that need room to bloom.
The big bowl gives air maximum contact with the wine, letting fragile aromas escape. The tapered top then concentrates that perfume right under your nose.
The wine lands on the front of your tongue first, where you perceive sweetness and fruit — exactly what these grapes do best.
