Limited-Edition Wine Glass Set of 2, Finished by Hand

A century of wine rituals, marked in gold

A favorite bottle, a carefully laid table, the pleasure of discovering something new in the glass. To celebrate its hundredth anniversary, L’Atelier du Vin gives these familiar moments a distinctive expression with the Exploreur® 655 – Aroma Line Centenary Edition.

Created to mark the Maison’s journey from 1926 to 2026, this limited-edition wine glass set brings together the precision of the original Exploreur and the individual character of a finish applied by hand. It is a piece of that history, made to accompany your own.

Two glasses. Two individual numbers. One anniversary.

The Centenary Edition comprises just 100 gift boxes of 2 glasses, for a total of 200 individually numbered pieces. Each glass carries its own number on the base, from 1/200 to 200/200.

Within the pair, every glass has a distinct place in the series. The numbering makes this set a thoughtful gift for a wine lover or collector, while preserving its everyday purpose: the pleasure of tasting wine. Numbers are assigned when the gift boxes are prepared and cannot be chosen when ordering.

The artisan’s touch, following the Aroma Line

A gold-colored line is applied by hand to the outside of each bowl, following the curve of the patented Aroma Line. This delicate brushstroke draws attention to the innovation within the glass and gives the Centenary Edition its signature detail.

Small differences in the line reflect the hand that applied it. The finish does not change the shape or tasting function of the glass: it highlights a feature that is usually more discreet.

A universal wine glass with a patented French invention

Inside the bowl, the Aroma Line — known in French as the Nervure des Arômes® — is dotted with tiny glass beads. As you swirl, this raised line encourages interaction between the wine and air, helping the bouquet unfold and making its nuances easier to distinguish.

The generous 22.1 US fl oz (655 mL) bowl gives red, white and rosé wines room to breathe. Its fine rim and light stem bring a delicate, balanced feel to the tasting. French design meets German glassmaking in a glass conceived to accompany many styles of still wine.

Take time for the first and second nose

Begin by bringing the glass to your nose without swirling. Notice the first aromas and the initial impression of the wine. Then swirl gently, letting the wine move across the Aroma Line, and return to the bouquet.

Compare the two impressions. Familiar notes may become more defined, while subtler aromas emerge. This simple ritual keeps the attention where it belongs: on the wine and the discoveries it offers.

A gift to open, use and remember

Presented as a set of 2 in its limited-edition gift box, the Exploreur 655 Centenary Edition is an invitation to share a tasting. Its hand-applied gold detail and individual numbering make it a meaningful anniversary gift for a wine enthusiast, or a personal addition to a collection of wine objects.

The pleasure of owning a numbered piece and the pleasure of using it belong together. Bring it to the table, open a bottle worth sharing, and let the next chapter begin.
