La Rochère decanter carafe

This hand blown decanter comes from the oldest glassblowing works in France. Although unusual in shape, it fulfils its function to perfection: 0.75 l just about half fills this decanter. The liquid level then has the largest possible surface area which is so important for allowing wine to breathe.
The decanter is made of very thin glass and the wine quickly adapts to the ambient temperature. The wide neck permits easy decanting without air locks; the neck is tapered, thus preventing loss of bouquet.
Ideal for mature red wines.
