The influence of glass
in the expression of flavors
The base is a precise anchor point for effervescence and rotation.
The lower part of the bowl promotes a smooth and controlled swirl.
The shoulder of the glass suggests an appropriate level of pouring.
The upper part of the bowl narrows to intensify the expression of the wine’s flavors.
The influence of the glass in the stages of tasting
To the eye
The transparency of the glass perfectly reveals the color of the wine.
On the nose
The upper part of the bowl concentrates the flavors to create an exceptional richness.
In the mouth
The lightness and refinement of the chalice allow the glass to fade away and provide a unique tasting experience.
GLASS PLACEMENT IN FRENCH-STYLE TABLE SETTING
White wine glass, red wine glass, champagne flute and water glass… How should they be positioned?
The water glass is placed above the plate, slightly to the right.
The red wine glass generally larger, comes to its right.
The white wine glass is then placed to the right of the red wine glass.
The Champagne or sparkling wine glass can be added in a second row, slightly offset between the water glass and the red wine glass.
