Mcsv: Glassware of Top Champagne Houses: Three Tiers, Tailor-Made for Fine Champagne

Elevate Your Champagne Sensory Experience

These spectacular Champagne glasses from Gerhard Lehmann, designed by renowned Champagne sommelier Philippe Jamesse, have been favorites of K&L Champagne buyer Gary Westby and his team for some time, and once we finally brought them in earlier this year, they sold out in a flash. Fortunately, these amazing pieces of artisanal craftsmanship are back in stock at the same fantastic direct-import pricing. If you attended last week's Champagne Tent Event, you're already well-acquainted with how wonderful this glassware is. Now's your chance to take them home.

"They show off the Champagne even prettier than in a flute yet also allow for the aromas to develop and the flavors to pop." — Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer

This glass is so good- I can't believe that we can buy them direct from the manufacturer in Reims and offer you, the Champagne lover, such an incredible deal. They show off the Champagne even prettier than in a flute yet also allow for the aromas to develop and the flavors to pop. On top of that, they are machine washable! At this price, no Champagne lover should be without a six pack.

We've been carrying the Lehmann "Jamesse" Champagne glasses at K&L for quite some time, but it wasn't until I spent several days drinking out of them in Reims and Epernay that I truly fell in love with the shape and style. Visit Champagne and these are the glasses that you will find in almost every winery, Champagne bar, and restaurant in the region, and for good reason. Flutes are far too narrow to allow the lifted aromatics of Champagne to truly soar, and standard wine glasses allow the bubbles to dissipate far too quickly. The Lehmann "Jamesse" glasses give you the best of both worlds, and the entry level "Glass 41" is thick enough to bring out for guests yet sleek enough to truly impress. These have become my go-to glasses for Champagne and for the price an absolute no-brainer. If you enjoy Champagne, these are a must.

This is the only brand of Champagne glass that I use at home. Not that I do not appreciate traditional flutes but, I find that this Sommelier designed glass gives the bubblies a more concentrated and precise nose, as well as keeping the bubbles going and going and going. It reminds me more of a traditional wine glass, which is what I use for tasting and evaluating champagne. I use this super affordable glass for guests that, um, tend to be a little hard on my glassware. They are super resilient. I upgrade to the pricier (and lighter) version of this glass for my more "careful" guests, including most of my co-workers. Most. Years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting the very beautiful showroom for Lehmann glass in Reims. Thank you, Gary Westby for that!

K&L Notes

This is the most exciting glass discovery–and the very best way to enjoy Champagne.

Philippe Jamesse is the fromer Sommelier at Château Les Crayères in Reims, the luxury destination for the Champagne region. He's tasted more great Champagne than almost anyone in the world, and has partnered with Reims glassware manufacturer Gerhard Lehmann to produce one of the greatest glasses ever made for Champagne. This glass is 41cl and is 9.2 inches tall with a diameter of 3.5 inches. It holds 13.8 oz and can be washed by hand or by machine. The tulip shape of this glass allows for a very pretty stream of bubbles to develop from the bottom of the glass, while the generous 410ml size allows room for the aromas to develop.

Traditional flutes are too narrow at the top for one to smell the wine, plus they pour wine in a very narrow stream across the tongue. Regular wine glasses make Champagne look flat. The Jamesse gets it just right!

*Price is per stem.* These ship only by the six-pack. Non-lead.

Staff reviews — Lehmann "Jamesse Reference" Grand Champagne Ultralight Glass #40 (we can only ship in 6-packs)

This glass is almost as fine and light as the mouth blown but has the advantage of not only being less expensive but also being sturdier. It is a big step up from the regular machine blown and shares the best-in-class shape with both its big and little brothers. If you are looking for a glass that you can put in the dishwasher (as long as you are careful!) but is still an instrument worthy of the finest bottles of Champagne in your collection, look no further. This is a truly great glass.

Flutes are far too narrow to allow the lifted aromatics of Champagne to truly soar, and standard wine glasses allow the bubbles to dissipate far too quickly. The Lehmann "Jamesse" glasses give you the best of both worlds, and the "Ultralight Glass 40" is beautifully thin yet affordable enough that I actually use them rather than leaving them tucked away for fear of breakage. Bringing out these glasses truly elevates every bottle.

A revolution in machine-blown ultralight glasses!!! Nearly as thin as mouth blown, but possible to put in the dishwasher - if you are careful! -Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer

Staff reviews — Lehmann "Jamesse Prestige" Grand Champagne Mouth-Blown Wine Glass #45

Mouth blown perfection for the Champagne lover! This great design, which not only looks great, but brings out the very best in your special bottles, is my own FAVORITE glass for drinking Champagne. The mouth blown glasses are fragile, and should not go in the dishwasher, but the thinner material brings out complexity and texture that you can't get any other way. Considering most mouth blown stems cost more than twice this much, consider treating yourself to this best-in-class masterpiece, for a very reasonable price!

I get it, you want the best. Well, here it is. The Lehmann "Jamesse Prestige" are ultralight, ultra-thin, and ultra sleek. All mouth-blown in Europe, this is next-level stemware that makes any occasion special. There is no next step, no higher rung, no mountain peak. You can pay more for other high-end Champagne stems if you like, but this is as good as Champagne glassware gets.

I had the chance to try these fantastic, mouth-blown glasses in Reims in April of 2014. They are fantastically light and concentrate the nose beautifully! They are also very visually pleasing and elegant. I have a set of much more expensive (over $100 a stem) glasses that are inferior to these. They are rarely used. I use these glasses for special occasions and also keep a set of the machine-made version for everyday use. The same set that I purchased 10 years ago is still around and intact!

Possibly the greatest Champagne glass ever! Our Champagne buyer, Gary Westby, came back from the region raving about this glass, and for good reason. It's perfectly shaped, with a fantastic feel and a great price. This is the most exciting new piece of glassware that we have found at K&L in many years, and the very best way to enjoy Champagne.
