Pinot Noir, or Burgundy as it is known in France, is quickly emerging as desirable red wines by wine experts and wine enthusiasts alike.
A serious Pinot Noir is a wine that is difficult to make, and even harder to produce into outstanding wines. Once however you get an opportunity to experience an outstanding Pinot Noir it becomes a goal to then find another and another. Yes, it becomes an addiction! That word is maybe too strong I fear, perhaps more an obsession for Pinot Noir. And, to satisfy that obsession having the best glassware for tasting Pinot Noir is very important, in order to experience all the subtleties that a good or great Pinot Noir has to offer.
The mystique and degree of difficulty to produce fantastic Pinot Noir has caused this meteoric increase in Pinot Noir demand globally. The French process of assimilating multiple Pinot Noir wines to make a finished wine labelled as Burgundy (all of the Pinot Noir is required to be grown and made in the Burgundy region to be labelled as such) has in many wine experts opinions been surpassed by the New world wine regions of New Zealand, Australia, and USA of course, all who are making sensational single vineyard Pinot Noir wines and are having multiple successes at wine competitions and in wine sales.
In my opinion Riedel Pinot Noir glasses are the best glasses for drinking Pinot Noir. They are perfectly shaped to deliver the Pinot Noir to your palate so that the wine hits the taste buds that are bestsuited to receive the flavor. The crystal used is of the very best quality and allows you an unobstructed viewing of the shades and hues of the wine, which of course can explain many things about the quality of Pinot Noir.
That so many wine connoisseurs, wine industry professionals, and serious wine enthusiasts use Riedel red and white wine glasses is an endorsement of their prestige as the best wine glasses available for tasting Pinot Noir. For serious wine tasters it is essential that they have the best glasses as often they could be tasting many hundreds of wines over a period of a few days. They understand the requirement to pick up all the flavors they can, immediately they taste the wine .
