Universal Wine Glasses with the Patented Aroma Line

A universal wine glass for a more expressive tasting

A familiar bottle can still hold a surprise. The Exploreur® 655 – Aroma Line invites you to pause, swirl and discover the nuances that make each wine its own. Its slender silhouette, generous bowl and featherlight feel bring precision to the tasting ritual, whether you are opening a bottle for two or gathering friends around the table.

The Aroma Line: a French invention, revealed with a swirl

Inside the bowl, a discreet raised line is dotted with tiny glass beads. This is the Aroma Line, L’Atelier du Vin’s patented innovation. As wine moves across it, the line encourages contact between the wine and air, helping aromatic compounds express themselves. Familiar notes become more distinct, while subtler aromas have room to emerge.

Developed through years of research with wine specialists, designers and master glassmakers, the Exploreur brings a distinctive approach to wine tasting. The inspiration came from a natural observation: the intensity of sea spray when waves meet the rocks. The glass applies that attention to movement to the simple gesture of swirling wine.

Red, white or rosé: one glass, many discoveries

These universal wine glasses are designed for a wide range of still wines. The 22.1 fl oz (655 mL) bowl gives the wine space to breathe, while the opening directs its aromas toward the nose. An exceptionally fine rim keeps the contact delicate, allowing the wine to take center stage.

From a structured red to a fragrant white or a fresh rosé, Exploreur accompanies the wine without asking you to change glasses for every bottle. It is equally at home in a focused tasting and at a table set for an unhurried evening.

How to taste with Exploreur 655

First, discover the wine at rest

Bring the glass to your nose before swirling. Take a moment to notice the first, most volatile aromas: the opening impression of the wine.

Then, let the wine move

Swirl gently, with a fluid movement. As the wine meets the Aroma Line, return to the bouquet and explore how it has opened. Look for a clearer expression of familiar notes and the quieter nuances that follow. Taste, then revisit the aromas as the wine evolves.

French design, German glassmaking

Since 1926, L’Atelier du Vin has created objects devoted to the Art of Living Wine. Exploreur continues that tradition with a balance of invention, elegance and pleasure in use. Each glass is blown in Germany from lead-free crystal, chosen for its clarity and resistance to impact. The ultra-fine bowl and light stem give a balanced feel in the hand.

Dishwasher-safe and fully recyclable, the glass is designed to become part of your own wine rituals, from the first pour to the last conversation of the evening.

A little of Paris at your table

At Chez Nenesse, bottles are opened, glasses are raised and conversations linger. Exploreur belongs to these moments as much as it does to a tasting: an invitation to appreciate the wine, the setting and the company. Wherever your table may be, the pleasure is in taking the time.
