The Lehmann F. Sommier Ariane 72Cl is a premium ultra-light crystal wine glass created in collaboration with renowned French sommelier Fabrice Sommier. Part of Lehmann’s Signature collection from Reims, Champagne, the Ariane glass is designed to enhance the aromatic complexity and texture of fine red wines through its generous bowl shape and refined curves.
The large 72cl bowl allows wines to fully open and aerate, making it particularly suited to Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo and elegant structured reds. Its ultra-light machine-made crystal construction closely resembles mouth-blown glassware, delivering exceptional finesse, clarity and balance while remaining durable enough for regular use.
Despite its delicate appearance, the glass is dishwasher safe and engineered for both professional and home use. The thin rim and lightweight feel significantly enhance the tasting experience, helping wines show greater aromatic precision, texture and detail.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best "value luxury wine glass" options we recommend. Compared to heavier traditional crystal glasses, the Ariane feels dramatically lighter and more precise, bringing out more aromatics and elegance in fine wine. Stylistically, it sits somewhere between Zalto and Gabriel-Glas - refined and serious, but still practical enough for everyday premium use. Perfect for Burgundy, Barolo and elegant cool-climate reds.
