Chateau Laguiole® - Made in France
$199.00
The Chateau Laguiole® Classic was created in 1993 by Master Sommelier Guy Vialis and was the first actual waiter-style Laguiole style corkscrew on the market. Since it debuted, the Chateau Laguiole® brand has been the favorite among some of the world's best sommeliers and, to this day, is the most sold (and counterfeited) high-end waiter-style Laguiole corkscrew in the world. All genuine Chateau Laguiole corkscrews like this one are 100 % Made in France.
The sheath: The original Chateau Laguiole black belt sheath is used by countless waiters worldwide. This sheath accommodates belts up to 2 1/2" wide. Each sheath is made from carefully selected genuine cowhide is manufactured by Max Capdebarth of France.
Juniper (Juniperus virginiana) AKA Aromatic Cedar.
Harvested in France
All Chateau Laguiole wine openers are made of 12C27 stainless steel and weigh around 4 oz (113 grams). The overall length closed is 4.5 inches (11.40 cm).
The foils cutter is serrated and measures 1.5/8 inches ~ 4.06 cm).
Besides the overall quality of the final product that has been dramatically improved, a few visual differences are worth noting. Yes, the original Chateau Laguiole classic was beloved by millions of wine lovers but it did have a couple of weaknesses.
Important note: If you consider purchasing a Chateau Laguiole that doesn't have a smooth bottom bolster (the part that holds the foil cutter) you may become the owner of one of two versions:
1) An older version of a Chateau Laguiole classic model.
2) A fake Chateau Laguiole reproduction made in China.
