Baccarat Oenologie Wine Decanter

Young wines often need significant oxygen exposure to soften tannins and open up their flavor profile. The wide, elliptical base of this decanter provides a large surface area, which accelerates the aeration process compared to a standard bottle or narrower vessel.

While it is crafted from fine, hand-blown Baccarat crystal, it is designed to be used. It is durable enough for regular hosting, though you should handle it with the care appropriate for high-quality glassware, particularly when washing.

Because of the slender neck and wide base, we recommend using decanter cleaning beads or a long-handled, soft-bristled brush. Always hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then air dry upside down on a specialized stand to prevent water spots.

The loop stopper is primarily designed to minimize the surface area of the wine exposed to air once the decanting process is complete. While it adds a distinct visual signature to the piece, it also helps keep dust or debris out of the decanter between pours.

Yes, the capacity is designed to accommodate a standard 750ml bottle of wine comfortably. The wide base ensures that even a full bottle has enough room to spread out for effective aeration.
