Product details for Chateau Laguiole Grand Cru Ebony Wood Corkscrew

The Chateau Laguiole® Grand Cru series was created to meet the rigorous demands of professional wine service. While maintaining the elegant silhouette of the original 1993 design, the Grand Cru models feature reinforced heavy-duty bolsters and a more robust construction designed to uncork over 20 bottles a day for years of service. Like every authentic Chateau Laguiole, this piece is 100% Made in France.

Handle Character: This Grand Cru model features a handle crafted from genuine Ebony Wood (Ébène). Renowned for its extreme density and deep, midnight-black hue, Ebony is one of the most prestigious woods in French cutlery. The wood's fine texture and natural oils allow it to be polished to a subtle, silky luster that feels exceptionally smooth and substantial in the hand. Over time, the Ebony handle will retain its dark, uniform color, providing a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic that complements the most refined professional environments.

Ebony (Diospyros crassiflora) harvested in Gabon, Africa. Ebony is the darkest wood in the world and one of the few that does not float. Generally, Ebony trees are small and slow-growing. Worldwide demand for ebony wood is very high: it’s a high-quality hardwood that’s very hard, very strong, and most of all, very black. As a result, many species of Ebony have been banned from export.

Note that the international trade of Gabon Ebony (Diospyros crassiflora) used on this model is highly regulated. 

Since 2020 all genuine Château Laguiole corkscrews come with a registration card to be validated online. This is the only assurance of their authenticity and warranty.
