The Open Up collection by Chef&Sommelier: French glassmaking expertise

A patented design crafted for modern oenology

The Open Uprange stands out with its flared shape and characteristic angular break, specially designed to optimize the olfactory and gustatory experience. This unique silhouette allows for natural aeration and an accelerated decanting effect. Upon contact with the glass's break, the wine's molecules are instantly released, revealing the full complexity of the grape varietals (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhône Valley, Loire). Developed in close collaboration with oenology experts, each piece in the collection meets the technical requirements of the finest dining establishments in Marseille, Toulouse, or Nantes.

Krysta glass: State-of-the-art technology made in France

Unlike ordinary glasses, Open'Up collection glasses are made from high-quality Krysta glass, an innovative high-tech material developed in northern France by the Arc group. This professional-grade material offers exceptional resistance to daily impacts and intensive dishwasher cleaning (tested over 2000 industrial cycles). High-quality Krysta glass is characterized by ultra-transparencyand lasting brilliance, preserving the pure sparkle of lead-free crystal to enhance the appearance of your wines, champagnes, and spirits.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Open Up range (FAQ)

What does the name "Open Up" mean for this collection?

The name refers to the glass's ability to instantly "open up" the wine's aromas. The angular break accelerates oxygenation, which is particularly beneficial for young wines (under 5 years old) that need to express themselves quickly without spending hours in a decanter.

What is the difference between the Tannic 55 cl and the Round 37 cl models?

The Tannic 55 clhas a very large oxygenation chamber to soften tannin-rich varietals. The Round 37 cl(or Universal 40 cl) has a narrower capacity, ideal for concentrating the more volatile aromas of white wines or fruitier reds.
