Style of Champagne: Vintage and Non-Vintage Champagne

Developed in collaboration with Philippe Jamesse, former Head Sommelier at the two Michelin-starred Les Crayères in Reims, the Lehmann Jamesse Grand Champagne 41 is one of our favourite glasses for champagne.

Generous without being oversized, its distinctive shape gives champagne room to open while gradually concentrating aromas towards the rim. It is an exceptionally versatile glass, equally suited to vintage and non-vintage cuvées.

The Jamesse collection is also used by many of Champagne’s leading Producers.

Its design has been carefully considered to enhance the tasting experience:

• The pointed base provides a precise starting point for the bubbles, encouraging a fine and consistent stream of effervescence.

• The broad, rounded bowl gives the champagne space to open, allowing greater aromatic and textural expression.

• The glass tapers gradually towards the rim, concentrating aromas while maintaining freshness and precision.

• Exceptional clarity and brilliance make it easier to appreciate the Champagne’s colour and effervescence.

For everyday champagne drinking, this is our glass of choice — elegant, beautifully proportioned and versatile enough to accommodate everything from a fresh non-vintage cuvée to a more complex vintage champagne.

What the experts say

Kate Laurie – Winemaker, Deviation Road Winery
“I feel that you can drink any champagne with this glass. Maybe it’s because the cuvée sits closer to the nose before tapering in, so you get the full amount of aromas.”

Emmanuelle Bekkers – Winemaker, Bekkers Wines
“The stem is lovely and long and I like how it builds its way into the bulb. The curve is part of the stem – it looks beautiful. Aromas are also quite complex.”
