The Historic Legacy of Versailles

The Chateau Laguiole Versailles collection pays tribute to the historic specimen trees that once graced the world-famous gardens of the Palace of Versailles ↗. Originally imported from around the globe during the late 18th century as part of the major garden restoration ordered by Louis XVI, many of these rare trees stood for over two centuries as silent witnesses to French history before being uprooted during the historic Christmas storm of 1999. This collection honors that profound botanical legacy through master craftsmanship and fine historic wood species.

The Chateau Laguiole brand itself is a legend in the world of wine service. Created in 1993 by Master Sommelier Guy Vialis, it was the first true professional waiter-style Laguiole corkscrew to enter the market. Despite countless imitations, it remains the world's best-selling high-end Laguiole wine opener. While the brand entered a new era of innovation following Mr. Vialis’s passing in 2016, it remains the preferred choice for the World's Best Sommeliers who demand quality, balance, and historical integrity in their daily routine.

Because these corkscrews are crafted from fine natural woods and materials, the grain pattern and character of your specific piece will be entirely unique.
