Baccarat Oenologie Decanter

Young wines often need significant oxygen exposure to soften tannins and open up their aromatic profile. The wide, elliptical base of this decanter increases the surface area of the wine, allowing it to breathe more efficiently than it would in a bottle.

While Baccarat crystal is renowned for its clarity and brilliance, it is a luxury material that requires careful handling. It is durable enough for regular use, but we recommend hand-washing to maintain its luster and prevent accidental breakage.

The decanter has a capacity of 52.75 ounces. This is generous enough to accommodate a standard 750ml bottle of wine with plenty of room for aeration, or even a magnum if you prefer.

The loop stopper is primarily a design feature that provides a comfortable grip for handling. While it does cover the opening, it is not an airtight seal, so it is intended for serving rather than long-term storage.

The slender neck is elegant but narrow, which can make manual cleaning slightly challenging. We recommend using a soft-bristled decanter brush or specialized cleaning beads to ensure you can reach the bottom of the elliptical base effectively.
