Maintain the mousse. Promote the perlage. No matter your preferred nomenclature for champagne’s effervescence, the steady stream of bubbles rising from the centre of a super-fine crystal glass is a hypnotising sight to behold and the most refreshing mouthfeel to experience. That’s why we go to great lengths to ensure our stemware is pristine so as not to interfere with the wine’s natural sparkle.
The best way to preserve champagne’s iconic effervescence is to ensure your premium Lehmann glassware is in the perfect condition.
- Gently wash glasses by hand, without detergent, and rinse thoroughly so that they are residue- and stain-free.
- Air-dry glassware upside down on a linen tea towel and gently polish them when dry.
- When polishing, be careful not to twist the glass against the stem, as this can cause breakages
Use Sally Hillman’s microfibre polishing cloth when polishing; a luxurious and specialised accessory boasting a generous size to buff and boost brilliance for that final touch of stemware sophistication. Lint-free, scratch-free, odour-free and easy to clean, Sally Hillman’s signature polishing cloth is complimentary with every Lehmann Glass set of 6.
Avoid using fabric softener to clean your polishing cloths because synthetic fragrances and residue may be left on the glass.
All Lehmann glasses are now dishwasher safe.
- If using a dishwasher, we recommend selecting a glass program and ensuring that the load is only glassware
- Use only minimal detergent to avoid leaving residue
If you are not cleaning your glasses right away, put a bit of water in the glass so that stains do not become hard to clean later.
‘Wine is a mixture of culture and meeting people. I pay particular attention to food and wine pairings and to the moments of complicity resulting from these times of sharing’—Fabrice Sommier.
Through a partnership with distinguished sommelier Fabrice Sommier, Lehmann Glass releases a timeless collection that respects the purest traditions and aims for perfection. The Head Sommelier at the three-Michelin-starred restaurant, Georges Blanc in Vonnas, Sommier has also been crowned Meilleur Ouvrier de France (2007) and Master of Port (2010), and he brings his trademark energy and excellence to the Lehmann F. Sommier collection. Elegantly balanced with clear-cut curves, the collection embodies finesse, lightness, pragmatism and brilliance, perfectly suited for all table settings, champagnes and wines.
The glass is the only tableware that remains throughout the meal and the versatile, machine-made Hadrien or its Ultralight counterparts of Psyché, Dionysos and Ariane in Sommier’s Signature collection would not be out of place in any setting—in fact, they would complete it.
Every care is taken to ensure that your beautiful Lehmann glassware arrives to you safe and sound. We dispatch orders promptly and package your glasses securely using strong, eco-friendly and, where possible, reusable packing materials.
We remain in close contact throughout the packing and shipping process, and tracking details are sent via SMS/email.
The package is always clearly labelled ‘fragile’ so that it is treated with care in transit. However, if a glass is broken along the way, we will replace it as soon as possible.
