Description

As the largest and most distinctive shape in the La Chapelle range, this glass carries a wide, voluminous balloon bowl built to direct wine onto the tip of the tongue. That delivery highlights fruitiness while keeping acidity balanced, ideal for delicate, high-aroma reds. Crystalline material keeps the same clarity and strength found throughout the range, with branding space beneath the bowl. Capacity reaches 740ml.

Tasting Notes: This glass's wide, voluminous balloon shape is designed to direct wine onto the tip of the tongue, highlighting fruitiness while balancing acidity. It's the ultimate shape for Burgundy Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo, Barolo and Barbaresco, wines that need a gentle touch to show their best. It also works well with aged red blends that need a wide surface area to open up gently without losing their more delicate nuances.

Crystalline Glass: Made using lead-free crystalline glass, this piece relies on zinc and barium oxides to achieve a level of brilliance beyond standard glassware. It's non-porous, chip and scratch resistant, and dishwasher safe, making it a durable option for regular commercial use. It brings a premium finish to the table without demanding special care.

Laser-Cut Rim: This glass features an ultra-fine, laser-cut rim built to be lip-friendly, reducing chipping risk while improving how the wine feels on the palate. It's a small but noticeable detail that adds a touch of refinement to everyday service. The fine edge doesn't compromise the glass's durability for regular commercial use.

Print, Decal or Etch?

Every glass item we sell can be branded three ways.

Pad print is the workhorse and the pricing on this page. Logo pad printed on, cured in a low fire oven, done. The trade-off is wash care. Low fire prints aren't dishwasher safe, so this is the pick for giveaways and gifts, not the back bar.

Decal is what you order when the glasses are going into a commercial dishwasher. The decal is kiln fired at high temperature and fuses into the glass itself, so it's guaranteed dishwasher safe. It costs more than pad print, and for venue glassware it's worth every cent. Talk to our team for decal pricing.

Laser etching is the premium finish, priced on this page alongside pad print. The logo is etched into the glass for a frosted look that can't fade or wash off because it isn't sitting on the surface at all. Dishwasher safe, permanent, and our recommendation for wine glasses and gift sets.
