Where the Bordeaux is angular, the Burgundy is curved: sloping shoulders flow into a wider body with no sharp break. It is the older of the two shapes and is tied to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy, but it now signals a softer, more traditional style of wine worldwide.
The broader body feels more substantial in the hand, one reason premium producers of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay favor it well outside Burgundy.
Burgundy glass is the natural home of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It is also widely used for Syrah and other Rhône-style reds, for many premium whites and as a base bottle for some sparkling wines. Because the body is wider, the bottle takes up more space in the case and on the shelf than a Bordeaux of the same volume, so plan carton and shelf layouts around its diameter rather than the volume alone.
The standard finish is a cork mouth to the CETIE bore, with BVS screw-cap versions for producers moving to screw closures. Glass weight runs from lightweight bottles to heavy prestige formats. The sloping shoulder distributes glass differently from a Bordeaux, and our tooling is set to keep the shoulder wall sound. A punt is standard, with a broader heel that gives the bottle its settled stance.
As with any still wine, fill cool and control fill height for cork seating and label registration. The wider shoulder is slightly more exposed to contact on conveyors, so set line guides for the bottle’s actual diameter. For wines that will sit under retail lighting, dark green or amber glass offers more protection than flint.
We can send samples for line trials and closure fitting ahead of your first bottling run.
Burgundy bottles are formed by blow-and-blow or NNPB, annealed and surface-coated like other wine bottles. The shoulder curve is defined in the blow mold, and every finish is gauged for cork or screw-cap compatibility before packing.
Beyond our standard range, we can supply heavier prestige weights, embossed crests or domain names, and custom tints for brands that want a distinctive bottle on longer runs.
