Riedel Sommelier Chablis Chardonnay Glass – Precision for Mineral-Driven Whites
The Riedel Sommelier Chablis Chardonnay Glass is designed to elevate the expression of unoaked and mineral-focused white wines. Crafted as part of Riedel’s original hand-blown Sommelier series, this stemware reflects decades of research into how glass shape influences aroma, texture, and balance.
Design & Performance
This glass features a narrow bowl and tapered rim, directing wine precisely onto the palate to highlight freshness, minerality, and linear acidity. It enhances clarity and focus, allowing subtle aromas and texture to emerge without exaggeration. Particularly effective for Chablis and restrained Chardonnay styles, it delivers a refined and articulate tasting experience.
Craftsmanship & Materials
Handmade from fine crystal, the Sommelier Chablis Chardonnay Glass is lightweight yet balanced, offering both visual elegance and functional precision. Each piece reflects Riedel’s commitment to varietal-specific design, ensuring consistency and durability while maintaining a refined aesthetic suitable for both professional and private cellars.
Use & Collectibility
Favored by sommeliers and collectors alike, this glass is an essential tool for those who appreciate terroir-driven white wines. Its timeless design and role within Riedel’s flagship Sommelier line make it a lasting addition to serious wine service collections.
Recommended Styles
Ideal for Chablis, unoaked or lightly oaked Chardonnay, and other high-acid, mineral-focused white wines. Its structure preserves precision while allowing complexity to unfold naturally.

GLASS CARE
- RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher safe. RIEDEL exclusively recommends MIELE
- To avoid stains: use soft water (low mineral content)
- To avoid scratches: Avoid glass contact with other glass or metal
- To remove stains: use white vinegar
- If available use a stemware rack
- Wash the glass under warm water (use detergent and rinse the glass carefully)
- Glass polishing: Use two polishing cloths, never hold the glass by the base to polish the bowl
- Stem snap: Occurs through mishandling = torque or bend pressure at the stem
- Storage: Avoid glass storage in kitchen cabinets which have strong aromas that translates into glass
- Wash at boiling temperature (to kill bacteria) with odorless soap
- Should be machine washed at min. 170° F/75° C
- Never use fabric softener when rinsing your microfiber polishing cloth (avoids grease film on surface)
