Riedel Macon Decanter
The handmade decanter distinguishes by an elegant and complex design. With Margaux, Macon and Marne (The ‘M’ Collection), Maximilian J. RIEDEL, 11th generation CEO and president of RIEDEL Crystal, is presenting new forms that allow gentle decanting, making them perfect for vintage red wines, as well as young white wines. Elucidating on his new works, Maximilian J. RIEDEL explains; “The source of inspiration for these new decanters were beautifully crafted cognac and whisky bottles – some up to 100 years old – that I discovered on a visit to one of London’s most fashionable “fine wine stores”. I reinterpreted these impressions for the design of my Margaux, Macon and Marne wine decanters, in which form and function come together in a perfect symbiosis”. The decanters, handmade in crystal glass and named after wine regions, have a modern yet classic design. Maximilian RIEDEL asserts that they are in keeping with the modern trend towards minimalism: “Back to basics. Although RIEDEL decanters with a double-or triple-decanting function are extremely practical, some people find them too complicated and intricate to handle. With these three new decanters, we are taking a step back and offering an alternative that we think reflects today’s zeitgeist perfectly”. RIEDEL tip: use bottle cleaners to remove stains inside the decanter.
