Know before you buy
This glass is specifically designed for complex, full-bodied wines that require significant aeration. It performs exceptionally well with Grand Pinot Noir, oak-aged Chardonnay, and structured red wines where you want to emphasize tertiary notes and soften tannins.
The signature kink is not just an aesthetic choice; it serves a functional purpose in aroma control. It helps circulate the wine within the bowl, encouraging deeper aeration and balancing the wine's profile before it reaches the palate.
No, these glasses are not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate, mouth-blown nature of the lead-free crystal, we recommend hand-washing them carefully to maintain their clarity and structural integrity.
With a capacity of 800 ml (27.05 ounces) and a diameter of 11 cm, this is a large-format glass. Its expansive bowl is intentionally oversized to provide ample surface area for complex wines to breathe and unfold.
Despite its generous volume, the Josephine N° 3 is surprisingly lightweight. Because each piece is handmade by artisans using thin, lead-free crystal, it offers a refined, elegant feel in the hand rather than a heavy, cumbersome one.
