A limited edition celebrating 100 years of the Art of Enjoying Wine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since 1926, L\u2019Atelier du Vin has imagined and designed objects to accompany wine lovers as they discover and celebrate wine. The Exploreur 655 Centenary Edition marks this exceptional milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark its centenary<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, the Maison pays tribute to this history with a limited edition of one of its most emblematic wine glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019Exploreur\u00ae 655 \u2013 Aroma Line | Centenary Edition brings together the elements that have defined L\u2019Atelier du Vin for a century: care given to each gesture, the pursuit of a more precise tasting experience, the dialogue between design and use, and the desire to create objects made to stand the test of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This anniversary edition does not alter the function of the glass. Instead, it reveals its essence by highlighting, with a gold line, the Nervure des Ar\u00f4mes\u00ae at the heart of the wine-tasting experience.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/div>\r\n

100 numbered gift boxes to celebrate the centenary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This anniversary edition is strictly limited to 100 gift boxes, representing 200 individually numbered wine glasses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each glass bears an individual number on its base, from 1\/200 to 200\/200. This marking identifies each piece and confirms its place within the Centenary Edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbering is more than a decorative detail. It places each wine glass within a defined series created to mark a unique moment in the history of the Maison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two glasses may share the same shape and the same wine-tasting qualities, but each carries its own number. Every glass is therefore a distinct piece, designed to be used, given as a gift or kept as a collector\u2019s item.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/div>\r\n

A hand-applied gold line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Nervure des Ar\u00f4mes\u00ae is usually discreetly integrated into the bowl of the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this Centenary Edition, its line is highlighted on the outside of the glass with a hand-applied gold-coloured brushstroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gesture follows the curve of the rib and draws the eye towards the innovation that defines L\u2019Exploreur\u00ae – Aroma Line. The gold finish does not alter the way the glass works: it visually reveals the line that accompanies the movement of the wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because this detail is applied by hand, the line may show slight variations from one glass to another. These natural differences bear witness to the artisan\u2019s touch and contribute to the unique character of each piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Far removed from uniform or mechanical decoration, this finish gives the object a distinctive, tactile presence. It is a reminder that L\u2019Atelier du Vin\u2019s centenary celebrates both innovation and the craftsmanship that brings it to life.<\/p>\n\n\n

L\u2019Exploreur\u00ae 655 – Aroma Line reinterpreted for the centenary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beneath its distinctive finish, this edition retains all the characteristics of L\u2019Exploreur\u00ae 655 \u2013 Aroma Line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its slender silhouette, generous volume, exceptionally fine bowl and Nervure des Ar\u00f4mes\u00ae remain unchanged. The glass therefore offers the same precision in wine tasting as the original model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference is deliberately focused on two distinctive details:<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  • the Nervure des Ar\u00f4mes\u00ae highlighted by hand with a gold line on the outside of the glass;<\/li>\n
  • the individual numbering of each glass within a limited series of 200 pieces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    This continuity allows the Centenary Edition to retain the full function of the original wine glass while adding another dimension: that of a commemorative and collectable object.<\/p>\n\n\n

    A patented innovation designed to reveal wine aromas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    At the heart of L\u2019Exploreur\u00ae 655 – Aroma Line lies the Nervure des Ar\u00f4mes\u00ae, a patented French invention by L\u2019Atelier du Vin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Integrated into the bowl, this rib is dotted with microscopic glass beads. When the wine is swirled, they encourage controlled agitation and increase interaction between the wine and the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aromatic molecules are then released with greater intensity. The most prominent notes gain precision, while more subtle nuances can gradually emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Nervure des Ar\u00f4mes\u00ae does not transform the wine. It works with its natural movement inside the glass to make the bouquet easier to perceive and understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The result of several years of research combining wine expertise, design and glassmaking craftsmanship, this invention gives L\u2019Exploreur\u00ae – Aroma Line a distinctive place in the world of wine tasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For this Centenary Edition, the gold line makes this innovative feature immediately visible, whereas it is usually far more discreet.<\/p>\n\n\n

    <\/div>\r\n
    <\/div>\r\n\n\n\n

    Inspired by a natural phenomenon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Why does sea spray release such an intense scent when waves break against rocks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The impact breaks the water into countless microscopic droplets. This dispersion encourages aromatic molecules to be released into the air, intensifying their perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This physical phenomenon inspired the Nervure des Ar\u00f4mes\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By accompanying the rotation of the wine and increasing interactions inside the glass, the rib contributes to a more intense diffusion of aromatic compounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The innovation remains entirely at the service of the wine. Its purpose is not to impose an effect, but to help the taster perceive more clearly what the wine already contains.<\/p>\n\n\n
