This Forge de Laguiole corkscrew features a handle deeply connected to the cellar, crafted from the inner side of authentic French Oak wine barrels. After years of aging in oak staves, fine wines absorb the grapes' rich pigments, resulting in a beautiful, natural wine-stained burgundy hue. This deep coloration is not a dye; it is a permanent testament to the wood's history, showcasing a unique "oenological patina" that makes it the ultimate tool for any wine enthusiast.
Handmade in Laguiole, France, these corkscrews—often referred to as the "Sommeliers"—are the only high-end waiter-style tools to feature the traditional Shepherd's Cross meticulously pinned into the handle.
Developed in collaboration with professional sommeliers worldwide, this tool’s ergonomics, elegance, and efficiency earned it the prestigious "Prix Design Plus" award in Frankfurt, Germany. Each masterpiece is entirely hand-assembled and completed by a single master craftsman to ensure the highest standards of quality and pride in the finished object.
Today, Forge de Laguiole represents the pinnacle of quality in the industry. With a reputation for integrity, ethics, and innovative design, this specialized team of 100 employees has established the brand as the essential choice for luxury Laguiole cutlery.
The Forge de Laguiole workshop is located in the historic village of Laguiole, France (population 1,300), the birthplace of this iconic style of cutlery in the early 1800s.
Reclaimed Oak barrel wood. The outside part of the handle is the inside area of the barrel, the side that is in contact with the wine. As a result, the finish is slightly rough and has the color and scent of aged wine.
